Colleges and Universities A-Z Oregon State University

<p>I go to one of America's most difficult public schools.</p>

<p>My 3 year GPA is a 2.88 unweighted with my lowest grades being C+s in honors and advanced classes. My school does not offer APs so they were not an option.</p>

<p>Currently I am getting straight As in my first quarter senior year.</p>

<p>I got a 2040 on my SAT.</p>

<p>I have taken only honors math classes since 8th grade and have been in all advanced classes besides English and Social Studies where there are no advanced classes.</p>

<p>I have a lot of ECs and have a pretty important position in a huge international youth organization.</p>

<p>I have played sports all 3 seasons every year. I have done a lot of volunteer work. I started a club at my school.</p>

<p>I have really good letters of recommendation.</p>

<p>What are my chances?</p>

<p>I’m also applying there and have similar scores. I think we’ll both get in. My friend talked to an admissions counselor there and the counselor said that if you have average grades and above 1550 on your SAT youve got a good chance. Apparently the biggest emphasis they have is how interested you are in the school, and if you can show them that you’re super interested, they’ll probably let you in. youve got decent grades (good for honors classes) and a great SAT score so I would be surprised if you didn’t get in. good luck. maybe i’ll see you there next fall haha.</p>

<p>To my knowledge, OSU doesn’t consider letters of rec that much. Their website says nothing about them.</p>
