<p>Hey all :) I've been lurking on this site for a while and figured I should join. Ohio State is my number one choice and I have already submitted my application. I wanted to post my info on here to see what kind of chance you guys think I have:</p>
<p>In State Student - Live approximately 45 minutes away from the university. Also, I currently attend OSU'S Academy program, which allows how school students to take college classes and get credit for them.</p>
<p>Female Caucasian</p>
<p>First Generation College Student (If I understand the definition. My mother went to college and got an associates but neither of my older brothers did)</p>
<p>*Class Rank: 14/94 (Top 15%)
*GPA: 3.825 (3.83) Unweighted
*29 ACT (I'm taking it again this month and hope to get a 30/31)
*Currently taking AP English Lit and have an A. My school is small (less than 400 kids for 4 grades) and we only offer AP English Lit and AP Government
*Inducted into National Honor Society as a junior</p>
<p>I have always taken C.P. English and this year I'm in AP. I've always been a year ahead of the average kids in my class (for example, taking Pre-Calc as a junior instead of a senior; taking Chemistry as a sophomore instead of a junior, etc)</p>
<p>*Volunteer at local Humane Society (All four years)
*Volunteer at local theater (All four years)
*Mission trip (Summer before my senior year)
*Spanish tutor for 2nd graders (Freshman and sophomore year)
*Mock Trial (Freshman, sophomore, and junior year. My sophomore year I won Outstanding Witness at Regionals, and my team moved onto state competition. Because of this, I got a varsity letter my sophomore year)
*Choir (All four years. Freshman year I was in Women's Chorus. My sophmore and junior year - we haven't competed this year - we qualified for state and received Superior (I) ratings both times)
*Musical (Freshman and sophomore year. I will also be doing it this year, but I submitted the application before I made the decision)
*Breast cancer fundraiser (Freshman year. My family ran a concert that raised $6531 for breast cancer research. I sold merchandise during the show)</p>
<p>I got letters of rec from the senior teacher in the English department (who also teaches AP English), the science department, and the history department. Each teacher has had me in two separate classes, and the history teacher is also the NHS advisor.</p>
<p>I want to major in Psychology.</p>
<p>If there is anything that I left out or that you feel is needed, please let me know! :) And thank you in advance!</p>
I think what’s worrying me is that my school only offers 2 AP classes. But there’s a girl that graduated from my school last year that got into Honors at OSU, so that makes me feel a lot better.</p>
