What the numbers say about KSU

The reported middle 50% spans 220 points, from 1000 to 1220. A planning score near or above 1260 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
The reported section midpoints are 580 Reading and Writing and 570 Math. Use the lower section as the first place to look for recoverable points in your own score split.
The Scorecard snapshot reports a 69% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
Reported outcomes include a 52% completion rate and $57,552 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
