<p>Your stats are kind of at the tail end for admission to OSU, but that fact that your OOS may help you. So far, I haven't heard of OSU giving the advantage to in-state students, like so many other large state schools are doing.</p>

7

<p>bump to which one i have the best shot at OOS: maryland cp, ohio st, uiuc?</p>

8

<p>i would love some opinions... thanks bump</p>

9

<p>I would say better shot at Ohio</p>

10

<p>yeah i agree maryland is really competitive...not sure about ohio but i'd imagine UMD more competitive than ohio is</p>

11

<p>everyone agree, ohio st.... gives me the best shot? (out of those 3)</p>

12

<p>105 views and still barely anything.. cmon guys, anyone out there!!?</p>

13

<p>should i apply to illinois, ohio st, or maryland CP all OOS?</p>

<p>i mean which one do i have the best shot at?</p>

<p>thanks! bump!</p>

<p>ACT is low. What is you SAT? If you haven't taken it do so asap. Also UMD has deadline for 12/1 for ED. Remember colleges look at the whole person and the EC's need to be worthy, not fodder... i.e. Is the Jewish Olympics held in another state to compete against everyone, or is this just an area thing? What did you get a gold in? Compete in local tourneys, but are they truly comps to get you to a state title or nat. title or are you just placing them in as this makes me look better.
Finally I am always the downer on this, but find me 1 kid who doesn't say the recs are outstanding, and a killer essay. Essays are subjective, look at your written part of the SAT to see if you do write killers (650 & above can say it. Think about it only a couple of hours to write one compared to revised endless amount of times)</p>

15

<p>is UMDs ED that bullet speaks about in above on 12/1 binding? And if send ACT scores/transcripts by that date is that ok or must they be received by that date???</p>

<p>thanks guys, can anyone answer please???</p>

<p>Your best shot is at Ohio State.</p>

<p>Also your chances at Maryland are better than at UIUC.</p>

<p>Will you get in? Hard to say, but I'd say probably yes for OSU, no for the other two.</p>

<p>You would also be a match at Penn State (OOS)</p>

18

<p>Another way to see if you competitive if you had put any of their scores on your SAT's they would have been sending you stuff. Heck, if you came even close to their scores they would send it unsolicited. </p>

<p>Anyone who says the SAT/ACT scores don't matter are wrong</p>

19

<p>do you'll think i would have a better shot at Ohio St or Penn St OOS?</p>

<p>thanks for all your help! bump..</p>

<p>You're in at Ohio State. Their ACT range may seem high, but they still have about a 70% acceptance rate. I've never heard of anyone with a 22+ and a
3.5+ being rejected. Essays don't really matter at OSU, and I don't think they consider reccomendations. With your stats, tough senoir courseload, and ECs, I'd say you're almost a sure thing.</p>
