You can click on a school's name to see a profile with admissions, cost, financial aid, and other information. The "see graph" link will take you to a graph of admissions data for admitted, rejected, and waitlisted students. Realize, of course, that SAT scores are just one part of the admissions equation. At all schools, a strong academic record will be the most important part of your application. Your chances will be significantly improved by success in Advanced Placement, Dual Enrollment, Honors, and International Baccalaureate courses. Many of the universities will also be interested in your extracurricular activities, work experiences, and leadership positions. Although Wright State and Shawnee State have open admissions, it's important to recognize that this doesn't mean everyone will get in. Nearly all colleges with open admissions still have minimum requirements for admission--schools don't want to admit students who are highly unlikely to succeed in college.
