<p>I’d say in. Your class schedule is strong and your GPA is fine, especially considering that schedule. You have a few strong ECs. The overall SAT score is right in range of OSU, even though the CR might be a bit low.</p>

<p>That ACT score is going to kill you SEnior_08. Unless you have a very high class rank and are either a 1st generation college student or urm (or preferably both), I’d say Ohio State’s a big reach. Putting your ACT in perspective, 91% of last year’s class scored a 24 or over, so it’s safe to assume that the other 9% had some very strong other factors going for them.</p>
<p>If Senior08 is instate, I’d say he has a solid chance. Kids with similar stats from my school have gotten in consistently over the past 5 years.</p>
<p>For the Columbus campus, I would say it’s a long shot in-state. Worse for OOS.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Not sure if I believe that. The statistics say otherwise. Nobody is getting into Ohio State these days with a 22 ACT unless there are other mitigating factors.</p>
<p>He’s welcome to apply, but I’d definitely advise him to fire off an app to Ohio U. or Miami as a backup.</p>
<p>senior08, You only have some chance if your essays were absolutly great</p>
<p>damn i wish a 3.3 was a top 20 in my school i might have had a chance</p>
<p>^Seriously person1, I know what you mean…I have a 3.45 and im in the top 30%!!! and that’s what got me postponed at my top choice school (UW-Madison)..If I was in the OP’s school Id be top 15% probably 
Ranking is so BS</p>
<p>^^^ (to Sh60614) Ohio U probably … but Miami shouldn’t be considered an OSU backup by any means.</p>
<p>Miami has similar test score ranges and admissions standards. I concede that they do have a higher admit rate … but I think Miami applicants are more self-selecting, whereas it seems like every kid in Ohio sends an app to OSU.</p>
<p>Miami has higher freshman retention and graduation rates, smaller class sizes, better admission statistics for law school and med school, an incredibly beautiful campus, and more geographic diversity</p>
<p>Sorry for going off on a tirade, but it’s inaccurate to imply that Miami is inferior to OSU. Most people in my part of ohio consider Miami a better academic school for undergraduate study.</p>
<p>Ohioguy - Having looked at both Miami and OSU-Columbus this past year, I can’t say that I agree with most of your statements, but I do agree that they have a beautiful campus. Other than that, I think the Columbus campus trumps MUO in most - if not all- categories (other than Paper Engineering - they have a rather unique program in that).</p>
<p>I actually liked Miami a lot. But my S didn’t. His words were something to the effect of “If I wanted to go to a reasonably priced, in-state school with a decent array of quality programs, on a beautiful campus in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere where everyone is exactly like me, MUO would be a good choice.” </p>
<p>Or something like that… He chose OSU.</p>
<p>ohioguy218, I’ll agree that Miami’s freshman class profile is a lot closer to Ohio State’s than OU’s, but there still is a noticeable gap that goes beyond simply the admit rate.</p>
