Chance Me For OSU and Scholarships

Colleges and Universities A-Z Ohio State University

<p>I am currently a junior in high school and OSU really interests me (mainly their computer science program) and I was hoping to be chanced based on my current stats.</p>

<p>I am a resident of Ohio</p>

<p>GPA: 3.84 UW
ACT: 29 - 33 math, 26 english, 31 reading, 25 science (time killed me)</p>

<p>Freshman year and sophomore year I took almost every advanced/honors and got mostly A’s. Also in my sophomore year I self-studied AP Calculus AB and got a 5.</p>

<p>Junior Schedule: (First Semester)
Honors Physics
Spanish III
Calculus II (At local college)
Intro to Comp Science (At local college)
Intermediate Composition (At local college)
Discrete Math (At local college)

  • Self-studying AP Physics C, AP Chemistry (while auditing the course), and AP Psychology.</p>

<p>ECs:(I plan on continuing them all until I graduate)
Academic Team (started as a sophomore)
Track (started as a freshman)
Engineering Team (started as a sophomore) (only a couple of weeks)
Student Council (started as a sophomore)
Hoping to get into honor society this year</p>

<p>I have also been in a rock band “The Stiffs” (guitar) since the eighth grade. We have played several smaller shows (highest 600 people) and written a couple original songs so I am hoping that is a unique EC.</p>

<p>I cannot think of anything else right now. I am pretty sure I will be able to get into OSU, but what do you think I should try for to get in the honors program and get some scholarships.</p>

<p>If you get your science score up higher (28+) and you get A’s and B’s in your college classes you have a very good chance of getting in. Try to acquire leadership positions to solidify your resume. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>Your grades are good enough to get in - but to get a scholarship it is going to be difficult. It is much more competitive at OSU to get a scholarship. Capital is much more generous in giving out aid and scholarships.</p>

<p>I would think you’d get in but you’d likely need to get your ACT score up for honors/scholarships unless you provide diversity in a way that the university finds desirable.</p>
