Seventeen Oklahoma colleges with pre-med programs, what they cost, and the test scores of the students they admit.
Oklahoma publishes an ACT score for its largest scholarships and another for assured admission, which most states do not do, and the scholarship number sits above what either of its research universities admits.
SAT scores are given by section and ACT scores as a composite, because that is how colleges report them and because a student at 620 Reading & Writing and 520 Math is in a different position from a student at 520 and 620.

Oklahoma Pre-Med Colleges by Test Score
The table below covers the four-year non-profit institutions in Oklahoma enrolling more than 1,000 undergraduates. The one exclusion is the OU Health Sciences Center, which enrolls undergraduates in allied health but reports no cost or tuition figures at all.
Colleges are sorted by the midpoint of their ACT composite range, with ties broken on the ACT 75th percentile. The four colleges reporting no scores go last.
| College | SAT Reading & Writing | SAT Math | ACT composite | Cost of attendance | Undergraduates | Admit rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| University of Tulsa | 610 to 760 | 613 to 770 | 25 to 34 | $64,459 | 2,813 | 62% |
| University of Oklahoma | 580 to 670 | 560 to 660 | 23 to 29 | $28,872 | 22,734 | 77% |
| Oral Roberts University | 580 to 660 | 540 to 650 | 22 to 28 | $50,004 | 3,487 | 99% |
| Oklahoma City University | 540 to 650 | 510 to 610 | 21 to 27 | $47,247 | 1,514 | 77% |
| Oklahoma State University | 530 to 630 | 510 to 620 | 20 to 27 | $28,290 | 21,773 | 75% |
| Oklahoma Christian University | 500 to 640 | 510 to 630 | 19 to 26 | $39,106 | 1,885 | 97% |
| University of Central Oklahoma | Not reported | Not reported | 18 to 24 | $26,392 | 10,170 | 78% |
| Southeastern Oklahoma State University | 490 to 593 | 490 to 593 | 18 to 24 | $18,594 | 3,018 | 76% |
| East Central University | 460 to 560 | 440 to 560 | 17 to 24 | $18,459 | 2,467 | 58% |
| Northeastern State University | 438 to 593 | 428 to 543 | 18 to 23 | $21,551 | 4,772 | 100% |
| Northwestern Oklahoma State University | 420 to 518 | 383 to 518 | 16 to 21 | $18,672 | 1,498 | 65% |
| Oklahoma Baptist University | 540 to 630 | 530 to 610 | 17 to 19 | $48,695 | 1,308 | 49% |
| Mid-America Christian University | Not reported | Not reported | 17 to 19 | $31,313 | 1,666 | 92% |
| Southern Nazarene University | Not reported | Not reported | Not reported | $46,465 | 1,455 | Not reported |
| Cameron University | Not reported | Not reported | Not reported | $19,862 | 2,492 | Not reported |
| Rogers State University | Not reported | Not reported | Not reported | $21,064 | 2,657 | Not reported |
| Southwestern Oklahoma State University | Not reported | Not reported | Not reported | $23,334 | 3,514 | Not reported |
Each range covers the middle 50% of admitted students who submitted scores. A quarter scored below the lower number, and the top quarter scored at or above the upper one. Being under the lower number does not rule a student out, and being just above it is not as safe as it looks.
Four things in that table are worth stopping on.
Admission is not the constraint in Oklahoma. Northeastern State admits essentially every applicant, Oral Roberts admits 99%, Oklahoma Christian 97%, the University of Oklahoma 77% and Oklahoma State 75%. The lowest rate on the page belongs to Oklahoma Baptist at 49%, not to the University of Tulsa at 62%. Tulsa is the first place most readers would look.
Southwestern Oklahoma State charges out-of-state students $8,499 against $8,469 for Oklahomans. That is a premium of $30, and it is the narrowest gap between resident and non-resident tuition found anywhere in this series.
Four colleges report no test data at all, and three of those four report no admit rate either. For Southern Nazarene, Cameron and Rogers State the row carries cost and size and nothing else.
Cost runs from $64,459 at the University of Tulsa down to $18,459 at East Central, a spread of better than three to one inside one state.

Sample Feedback from our Diagnostic Test:
University of Tulsa
The University of Tulsa is a private research university with 2,813 undergraduates, and it runs the Early Careers in Medicine program that places five freshmen a year into the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. Admitted students scored 25 to 34 on the ACT, 610 to 760 in Reading & Writing and 613 to 770 in Math, so the top quarter were at or above 34, 760 and 770. Tuition and fees are $50,061 and total cost of attendance is $64,459. Tulsa admits 62% of applicants and reports the widest ACT range in the table at nine points.
University of Oklahoma
The University of Oklahoma is the largest campus in the state with 22,734 undergraduates in Norman, and the OU College of Medicine in Oklahoma City is the only MD program in Oklahoma. The admitted range runs 23 to 29 on the ACT, 580 to 670 in Reading & Writing and 560 to 660 in Math, with the top quarter at or above 29, 670 and 660. In-state tuition and fees are $9,797 and out-of-state tuition is $27,377, against a total cost of attendance of $28,872. OU admits 77% of applicants.
Oral Roberts University
Oral Roberts University is a private Christian university in Tulsa with 3,487 undergraduates, and it admits 99% of applicants. Admitted students scored 22 to 28 on the ACT, 580 to 660 in Reading & Writing and 540 to 650 in Math, so the top quarter were at or above 28, 660 and 650. Oral Roberts charges $35,470 in tuition and fees, against a total cost of attendance of $50,004. A 99% admit rate alongside an ACT 75th percentile of 28 is the self-selecting applicant pool at work, because students who are not a fit for a university like this one do not apply to it.
Oklahoma City University
Oklahoma City University is a private university with 1,514 undergraduates and a 77% admit rate. The admitted range runs 21 to 27 on the ACT, 540 to 650 in Reading & Writing and 510 to 610 in Math, with the top quarter at or above 27, 650 and 610. Oklahoma City University charges $35,648 in tuition and fees and costs $47,247 in total.
Oklahoma State University
Oklahoma State University publishes its assured admission standards in its own catalog, and those standards are worth reading before applying anywhere in this state. It enrolls 21,773 undergraduates in Stillwater and admits 75% of applicants. Admitted students scored 20 to 27 on the ACT, 530 to 630 in Reading & Writing and 510 to 620 in Math, so the top quarter were at or above 27, 630 and 620. In-state tuition and fees are $10,234 and out-of-state tuition is $25,754. Total cost of attendance is $28,290.
Oklahoma Christian University
Oklahoma Christian University is a private university in Edmond with 1,885 undergraduates, and it admits 97% of applicants. Admitted students scored 19 to 26 on the ACT, 500 to 640 in Reading & Writing and 510 to 630 in Math, with the top quarter at or above 26, 640 and 630. Tuition and fees are $27,180, the lowest private figure on this page, and total cost of attendance is $39,106.
University of Central Oklahoma
The University of Central Oklahoma is a regional public university in Edmond with 10,170 undergraduates, the third largest campus in the table. It reports an ACT range of 18 to 24 and no SAT data, so the top quarter of admitted students scored at or above 24 on the ACT and there is no published SAT figure for it. In-state tuition and fees are $8,818 and out-of-state tuition is $19,704, against a total cost of attendance of $26,392. Central Oklahoma admits 78% of applicants.
Southeastern Oklahoma State University
Southeastern Oklahoma State University is a regional public university in Durant with 3,018 undergraduates. The admitted range runs 18 to 24 on the ACT, 490 to 593 in Reading & Writing and 490 to 593 in Math, so the top quarter were at or above 24 and 593 in both sections. Southeastern charges $7,530 in-state and $16,740 out-of-state in tuition and fees, and its total cost of attendance is $18,594. It admits 76% of applicants.
East Central University
East Central University reports the lowest total cost of attendance on this page at $18,459, from a campus of 2,467 undergraduates in Ada. Admitted students scored 17 to 24 on the ACT, 460 to 560 in Reading & Writing and 440 to 560 in Math, with the top quarter at or above 24, 560 and 560. In-state tuition and fees are $8,032 and out-of-state tuition is $17,842. East Central admits 58% of applicants, the second lowest rate in the table.
Northeastern State University
Northeastern State University is in Tahlequah, the same town as the OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine at Cherokee Nation, and it admits essentially every applicant at a reported rate of 100%. It enrolls 4,772 undergraduates. The admitted range runs 18 to 23 on the ACT, 438 to 593 in Reading & Writing and 428 to 543 in Math, so the top quarter were at or above 23, 593 and 543. Tuition and fees are $7,810 in-state and $17,290 out-of-state, against a total cost of attendance of $21,551.
Northwestern Oklahoma State University
Northwestern Oklahoma State University charges $5,970 in-state, the lowest tuition figure on this page, from a campus of 1,498 undergraduates in Alva. Out-of-state tuition is $11,664 and total cost of attendance is $18,672. Admitted students scored 16 to 21 on the ACT, 420 to 518 in Reading & Writing and 383 to 518 in Math, with the top quarter at or above 21, 518 and 518. Northwestern admits 65% of applicants.
Oklahoma Baptist University
Oklahoma Baptist University admits 49% of applicants, the lowest rate in this table, from a student body of 1,308 undergraduates in Shawnee. Its two reported ranges do not agree with each other. It reports an ACT range of 17 to 19 alongside SAT ranges of 540 to 630 in Reading & Writing and 530 to 610 in Math, which sum to 1070 at the lower end. An ACT of 19 concords to an SAT total of approximately 1000, so the SAT figures sit well above where the ACT figures would put the same class. The two cannot both describe the same admitted students, and a student weighing Oklahoma Baptist should ask the admissions office which population each range covers. Tuition and fees are $35,570 and total cost of attendance is $48,695.
Mid-America Christian University
Mid-America Christian University is a private university in Oklahoma City with 1,666 undergraduates. It reports an ACT range of 17 to 19 and no SAT data, the same narrow band Oklahoma Baptist reports. Tuition and fees are $21,294, the lowest private tuition on this page, and total cost of attendance is $31,313. Mid-America Christian admits 92% of applicants.
Southern Nazarene University
Southern Nazarene University is a private university in Bethany with 1,455 undergraduates. It reports no ACT data, no SAT data and no admit rate, so its row carries cost and size and nothing else. Southern Nazarene charges $31,190 in tuition and fees, against a total cost of attendance of $46,465.
Cameron University
Cameron University is a regional public university in Lawton with 2,492 undergraduates. It reports no test data and no admit rate. In-state tuition and fees are $7,095 and out-of-state tuition is $16,515, against a total cost of attendance of $19,862.
Rogers State University
Rogers State University is a regional public university in Claremore with 2,657 undergraduates, and it reports neither test scores nor an admit rate. Tuition and fees are $7,750 in-state and $16,410 out-of-state. Total cost of attendance is $21,064.
Southwestern Oklahoma State University
Southwestern Oklahoma State University charges $8,469 to Oklahoma residents and $8,499 to everyone else, a difference of $30. No other public university in this series comes close to that. It enrolls 3,514 undergraduates in Weatherford and reports no test data and no admit rate. Total cost of attendance is $23,334.
What an ACT Score Is Worth in Oklahoma
The Oklahoma Rising Academic Scholars Award attaches a published ACT score to its largest awards, and it sets a different number for each tier of institution.
For the Institutional Nominee route, effective from Fall 2020, a research university nominee needs an ACT of 32, or a 3.9 grade point average with a top 2% class rank or first or second in class, or a 3.9 average with an ACT of 30. A regional university nominee needs an ACT of 30, or a 3.8 average with a top 4% rank, or a 3.8 average with an ACT of 28. A two-year college nominee needs an ACT of 29, or a 3.7 average with a top 5% rank, or a 3.7 average with an ACT of 26. SAT and CLT equivalents apply at each level.
There are separate routes for a score at the 99.5 to 100 percentile, and automatic qualification for National Merit Scholars, National Merit Finalists and United States Presidential Scholars. Renewal requires a 3.25 cumulative average, full-time enrollment and 24 credit hours a year, and eligibility runs eight semesters.
What that is worth depends on where a student lands, and the University of Oklahoma publishes its own figures.
OU’s Institutional Nominee page states that a selected freshman receives $4,000 a year from the State Regents for four years plus a full resident tuition waiver from OU for five years, and puts the total package value at $42,850 for fall and spring semesters. The same page encourages students to retest in pursuit of the Automatic Qualifier package, which it values at $124,850.
OU’s separate Automatic Qualifier page states $24,000 a year for fall 2026 freshmen and gives no multi-year total, noting that amounts may change from year to year with available funds. Those are two different OU pages publishing two different figures, so both are given here as OU gives them rather than combined into one number.
One detail on that top threshold needs care. For fall 2026 the automatic qualifier is an ACT sum of 103 across Reading, Math and English, or an SAT total of 1560 across critical reading and math. The 103 is the sum of three subscores rather than a composite, since the ACT composite is scored out of 36. OU requires an official score report for it.
In-article image 1 Placement: directly after the paragraph below What it shows: the ACT 32 research-tier threshold drawn as a vertical line across the admitted ACT ranges of the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and the University of Tulsa, each shown as a bar from its 25th to its 75th percentile Image annotation phrase required in the adjacent sentence: the scholarship asks for more than either research university admits Alt text: Oklahoma Rising Scholars ACT threshold compared against admitted ranges at the state’s research universities File name: oklahoma-rising-scholars-act-threshold Size: 2760×1440
Set 32 against the table higher up this page and the size of it becomes clear. The University of Oklahoma reports an ACT 75th percentile of 29 and Oklahoma State reports 27. Only the University of Tulsa reaches 32, at 34. So the scholarship asks for more than either research university admits, and a student aiming at it is aiming past the top quarter of the class he would be joining.
Oklahoma Superscores, and That Changes the Plan
OU states that the ACT 32 route and the 3.9 with an ACT 30 route can both be reached through a superscore. Its admissions pages add that OU superscores the ACT and the SAT and accepts additional scores through April 30.
That matters more here than almost anywhere, because of what is attached to the number. A student can work on one section at a time across two or three sittings, reach a composite he never produced on a single morning, and collect an award OU values in five figures.
The contrast with two other states on this site is worth holding onto. The University of Cincinnati’s Connections program in Ohio states that scores are not superscored and only the highest single score counts. Adelphi’s early assurance agreements in New York require the minimum from one sitting and do not superscore either. The same test-date strategy is worth tens of thousands of dollars in Oklahoma and worth nothing at those two programs, so a student comparing states should not assume the rule travels with him. See pre-med colleges in Ohio and pre-med colleges in New York.
Oklahoma Publishes What It Takes to Be Admitted
Oklahoma State University sets out three ways to earn assured admission in its own catalog, and an applicant needs to meet only one of them along with all fifteen curricular units.
The first is a four-year cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or higher together with a rank in the top third of the graduating class. The second is a 3.00 or higher average in the fifteen required core courses together with an ACT composite of 21 or an SAT of 1060. The third is an ACT composite of 24 or a total SAT of 1160 on the score alone.
Applicants who fall between those standards and the minimum State Regents standards receive a holistic review weighted 60% on cognitive factors and 40% on non-cognitive ones. Below that, alternative admission may still be available.
The fifteen curricular units are four years of English, three of mathematics at Algebra I and above, three of history and citizenship including American history, three of laboratory science, and two others.
The University of Oklahoma takes a different approach to admission and the same approach to money. OU is test-optional and says so plainly, reviewing applications holistically. Its own pages then add three things a test-optional applicant should know. Test-required freshman scholarships begin at a 24 ACT or a 1160 SAT. A score submitted for review cannot later be withdrawn from consideration. And a student who submits no score at any point during senior year has to take placement exams before enrolling.
For reference, OU publishes an average ACT of 25.1 and an average SAT of 1200 to 1220 for its fall 2026 admitted students.
The honest summary is one sentence. In Oklahoma a test score is optional for admission, not optional for money, and not optional for skipping placement tests. The state next door builds its whole placement system on that last point, covered on pre-med colleges in Ohio.
Three Ways Into a Reserved Medical School Seat, and One of Them Is the PSAT
The University of Tulsa runs Early Careers in Medicine, which gives five incoming freshmen a year early provisional acceptance to the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine on either the Oklahoma City or the Tulsa track. Approximately fifteen to twenty applicants are interviewed for those five places.
Eligibility runs through one of three doors. A student qualifies as a National Merit Semifinalist who lists Tulsa as a school of choice, or as a National Hispanic Scholar in the top 10% of his class, or by ranking in the top 5% of his class or holding a weighted grade point average of at least 4.0.
In-article image 2 Placement: directly after the paragraph below What it shows: the three eligibility doors into Early Careers in Medicine drawn side by side, with the National Merit Semifinalist door traced back to the PSAT taken in October of junior year, and the funnel from approximately fifteen to twenty interviews down to five places Image annotation phrase required in the adjacent sentence: a test taken in October of junior year is one of three doors to a reserved medical school seat Alt text: the three eligibility routes into the University of Tulsa early medical acceptance program File name: tulsa-early-careers-medicine-three-routes Size: 2760×1440
The first of those doors is worth naming for what it actually is. National Merit Semifinalist status is decided by the PSAT/NMSQT, so a test taken in October of junior year is one of three doors to a reserved medical school seat. Nothing else in this series works that way, and most students sit the PSAT without knowing it can do anything beyond practice.
An ACT or SAT score has to be submitted with the application and no minimum is published. The Classic Learning Test is not accepted here, and that is worth a line because Oklahoma’s state scholarship does accept it. A student weighing the CLT needs to check award by award rather than assume.
Applications close on February 1 and a recommendation letter from a community member, counselor or educator is mandatory. Applications arriving without one are disqualified. Interviews are held in late February and decisions come in early April.
The MCAT is still required later. To hold the provisional acceptance without a further interview a student needs an MCAT score and a science grade point average at or above the previous entering class averages, which the program gives as approximately 510 and 3.75.
The second route is OU’s Medical Humanities Scholars Program, and it is entered as an OU undergraduate freshman rather than from high school. Accepted students receive guaranteed admission to the OU College of Medicine and skip the medical school interview, provided they reach at least the average MCAT and grade point average of the previous year’s accepted class. Applications open in September, close in early January, and acceptance letters go out in early May. OU publishes no seat count and no numeric cutoff for it, so none appears here.
Oklahoma Has One MD Program and the First Tribally Affiliated Medical School
The University of Oklahoma College of Medicine in Oklahoma City is the only MD program in Oklahoma accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. It holds full accreditation and was first accredited on or before 1942, the year the committee was founded. One MD program is unusual for a state this size, and it is the reason both routes in the section above lead to the same place.
Oklahoma State University runs the state’s osteopathic college, accredited by the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation, with its main campus in Tulsa and an additional location at Cherokee Nation in Tahlequah.
The Cherokee Nation campus held its first White Coat ceremony on July 31, 2020. Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. described it as the first tribally affiliated medical school in the United States, and it is the first college of medicine sited on the campus of a tribal health facility, W.W. Hastings Hospital. Its inaugural class had 54 first-year students, 20% of them American Indian, and its stated purpose is training primary care physicians for rural and underserved Oklahoma. Those figures describe the opening class in 2020 rather than the school today.
Something in the table connects to that. Northeastern State University is in Tahlequah too, admits essentially every applicant, and costs $21,551 a year all in. An Oklahoma student can take an undergraduate degree at an open-admission university in the same town as a medical school that did not exist a decade ago.
Having those schools nearby is worth knowing about and it is not a reason to choose an Oklahoma college. Medical school applications are national and neither school gives preference to applicants who took their undergraduate degree nearby. What proximity helps with is shadowing, clinical volunteering and research during the undergraduate years, and those are advantages of location rather than of admission.
Does Oklahoma Have a Scholarship Tied to Test Scores?
Oklahoma has one of the most score-dependent scholarship structures in the country, and the section above covers it. The state’s other major program works the opposite way.
Oklahoma’s Promise is based on family income rather than on a score. A student enrolls between grades 8 and 12, no later than December 31 of senior year, and parents’ federal adjusted gross income at enrollment has to fall at or below $60,000 for a family with one or two dependents, $70,000 with three or four, or $80,000 with five or more. A separate ceiling of $100,000 applies before any benefit is paid.
The academic requirements are fifteen units of required high school courses and a cumulative 2.50 grade point average, both overall and within the required curriculum. A FAFSA is required each year in college.
No test score is required for most students. Homeschool students and graduates of non-accredited high schools are the exception and need an ACT composite of 22 or higher, or an equivalent SAT or CLT score.
Ohio’s Governor’s Merit Scholarship has the same shape, using class rank for students at accredited schools and a test score for homeschooled applicants. Two states is worth noticing rather than explaining.
What If Your Scores Are Below the Range You Want?
Being below a college’s published range does not disqualify anyone. A quarter of the students admitted to every college in this table that reports a range scored below its lower number.
In Oklahoma that question matters less than it does almost anywhere else, because admission is not what the score decides. Northeastern State admits essentially everyone, Oral Roberts 99%, Oklahoma Christian 97%, the University of Oklahoma 77% and Oklahoma State 75%.
What the score decides is money, and the targets are published numbers rather than ranges. They form a staircase that very few states lay out in public.
An ACT of 21 with a 3.00 core grade point average, or a 24 on its own, earns assured admission at Oklahoma State. A 24 opens OU’s test-required freshman scholarships. A 30 reaches the regional university tier of the Rising Scholars award, and a 32 reaches the research university tier.
Measure those against the table. The University of Oklahoma’s ACT midpoint is 26, which puts a typical OU admit six points below the research tier threshold. Oklahoma State’s midpoint is approximately 23 and a half, so a typical Oklahoma State admit is about a point short of OU’s scholarship floor of 24 and nine points short of the top tier.
Based on the students we have worked with since 2008, a 70 to 130 point improvement on the SAT takes approximately 40 hours of effective studying and a 130 to 250 point improvement takes approximately 80. A point on the ACT is worth approximately 25 to 30 points of SAT total, so a two or three point ACT move sits inside the first band and a six point move is a longer project.
The arithmetic is kinder in Oklahoma than elsewhere because of superscoring. Those points do not all have to arrive on the same morning.
The number worth aiming for at a college, as opposed to for a threshold, is the upper end of its range, the one the top quarter cleared, rather than the middle. The reasoning behind that is on what SAT score you need for college.
How to improve your SAT score covers the method, including how to find which topics are costing points instead of guessing at them. If there is no recent score to measure a gap against, a free diagnostic SAT gives one, broken down by section and by topic.
Should an Oklahoma Student Take the ACT or the SAT?
This page sorts on the ACT because Oklahoma reports it more widely. Thirteen of the seventeen colleges here publish an ACT composite range against eleven publishing SAT section ranges.
The stronger reason is that every Oklahoma policy on this page is written in ACT terms first. The Rising Scholars tiers are set in ACT points with SAT equivalents attached. Oklahoma State’s assured admission standards lead with the ACT. Oklahoma’s Promise names an ACT composite for the students it applies to. A student who works in ACT points is reading the same units the state is using.
That said, the SAT is accepted everywhere the ACT is on this page, and OU superscores both. A student who tests better on the SAT should use it and check the published equivalent for each specific award rather than relying on a general concordance.
One note on the Classic Learning Test. Oklahoma’s state scholarship programs accept it and the Tulsa medical program does not. A student considering the CLT has to check it award by award.
Students should also ask a school counselor whether their district runs a school-day ACT or SAT administration, because a test taken at school costs nothing and the answer varies.
How to Read These Score Ranges
Every range on this page covers the middle 50% of admitted students who submitted that test. The lower number is the 25th percentile and the upper number is the 75th, which means a quarter of admitted students scored at or above it.
Four colleges in the table report neither test, and three of those four report no admit rate either. For those there is no published figure of any kind to measure a score against.
One college reports two ranges that contradict each other. Oklahoma Baptist publishes an ACT range of 17 to 19 and SAT ranges summing to 1070 and above, and the gap between them is larger than any concordance explains. Its entry above covers what to do about that.
The test-optional caveat applies throughout. Published ranges describe the students who chose to submit rather than everyone admitted, so they sit higher than the true range. OU adds a wrinkle worth knowing: once a score is submitted and the review has begun, it cannot be taken back out of consideration. More on test-optional colleges.
Pre-Med Programs in Nearby States
Oklahoma borders Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Colorado and New Mexico, and plenty of Oklahoma students leave for all six.
Leaving costs something specific here. Oklahoma’s Promise requires an Oklahoma high school and an Oklahoma college, and the Rising Scholars award requires attending an Oklahoma institution. A student who crosses the border gives up both. It costs him nothing at the medical school application stage, because applications are national.
