What the numbers say about Worcester State University

The reported middle 50% spans 250 points, from 1030 to 1280. A planning score near or above 1320 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
The reported section midpoints are 560 Reading and Writing and 560 Math. Use the lower section as the first place to look for recoverable points in your own score split.
The Scorecard snapshot reports a 88% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
Reported outcomes include a 61% completion rate and $60,624 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
