    What the numbers say about NWOSU

    • The reported middle 50% spans 240 points, from 800 to 1040. A planning score near or above 1080 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
    • The reported section midpoints are 490 Reading and Writing and 490 Math. Use the lower section as the first place to look for recoverable points in your own score split.
    • The Scorecard snapshot reports a 65% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
    • Reported outcomes include a 30% completion rate and $44,358 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
