South Dakota State University reports an average International Baccalaureate (IB) score of 32 for admitted students, which is out of a possible 45. It's important to note that many admitted students do not submit IB scores, but among those who do, the average score is 32.
South Dakota State University's IB score range for undergraduate admissions is between a 29 and a 37, with the 25th percentile at 29 and the 75th percentile at 37. Being within this range does not guarantee admission, but scores closer to 37 are favorable. Applicants scoring at the lower end should enhance their application with stronger grades, essays, and extracurricular involvement to improve their chances of acceptance.
South Dakota State University does not explicitly require or recommend any specific IB subjects for admission. However, we suggest considering Higher Level subjects such as Math AA, Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology, along with Standard Level subjects like English A (Language & Literature), History, and Business and Management. These recommendations are based on the college's academic profile.
