Chance Me- The Ohio State University

Hi everyone!

I would love to go to OSU for business with a focus on the marketing side. However, the only problem is my stats. I’m starting to get quite worried as the time for applying is quickly approaching. Some insight regarding my chances would be amazing.

GPA: 3.64W
ACT: 25
SAT: Didn’t take
Course Load: Pretty rigorous. I’m in all honors classes and one AP (Psychology). My senior year will consist of one honors but two AP courses (Economics and English).

Extracurriculars

French club
-I’m apart of my school newspaper. I was also published in it my junior year.
-Link Crew- I was in this for two years. This is a leadership program that offers guidance to incoming freshman.
-Piano lessons- I’ve been playing for 12 years
-Violin lessons- Only began this two years ago
-I was selected to be apart of a marketing based competition that lasted the entire school year. We competed as a representative from our school and I had the opportunity with meeting our city’s top entrepreneurs.

-National French Honors Society
-My part time job! Now my job takes up a lot of my time. This job is the reason for my lower GPA.
-Four years of honors French

Volunteering

-I volunteer at my church regularly
-I voluntarily worked for my school’s main office

I am in state. I may also apply early decision when the time comes around.

I would definitely strive for a higher ACT, around 30 will be much safer. You have good ECs and leadership. I would maybe add one more AP for senior year if possible, but don’t stress yourself too much. I think right now you’re at a high match-low reach, but if you up your ACT and work on your GPA you have a good shot.
