<p>OOS New Jersey</p>
<p>7 honors and 5 AP classes</p>
<p>3.08 UW 3.32 W GPA</p>
<p>1840 SAT </p>
<p>M - 680 CR - 560 W- 600</p>
<p>I have merely IDENTICAL stats and I have been told that I have little or no chance.</p>
<p>So I guess your chances aren’t that great. But seriously, who knows. Apply.</p>
<p>is it harder to get in from out of state?</p>
<p>My D was OOS (NY) last year.
Her GPA was higher (3.6) with honors/AP classes, but her SAT score was lower and got in. She applied early and received her admit in December.</p>
<p>She LOVES Ohio State BTW.</p>
<p>Good luck!!</p>
<p>Your GPA is kind of low. But, it also depends on a lot of other things, including what scores you got on those AP tests and what kind of extracurriculars/community service you have under your belt.
If you’ve done no significant outside activities and your AP scores are mediocre, I would say you’d probably not get in.
I think it will really depend on those factors…AP scores and extracurriculars.</p>
<p>AP scores do not influence admission. If you score high enought (4 or 5, but sometimes 3) a class can be waived.</p>
<p>In the case of an applicant like this, who’s borderline, many schools rely on AP scores to give a more accurate evaluation of personal abilities. I’m assuming that OSU does this as well. After all, if a schools has 2 applicants, one of which gets 5 1’s and the other gets 5 5’s, there’s a big difference in perceived ability. I think it can tip the scales one way or the other, especially in a case like this.</p>
<p>Shrute, I have never heard of that. I would check with admissions on their use of AP scores before assuming that’s what they do.</p>
<p>That is False. If you didn’t send your AP scores to OSU, they’d have no way of knowing them.</p>
<p>You send your AP scores to receive credit for a certain class. That is, if you score say a 4 or 5 in AP physics, then you don’t have to take the class in college. If you score a 3 or below, you don’t send your score. What would be the point? Colleges don’t use them for admissions purposes.</p>

<p>LoonLake, I was not claiming that OSU can magically conjur up score reports.
editor, it’s apparent that most colleges do it. That’s why so many kids cancel their AP reports to schools when they don’t think they did so well, or why kids on all the Ivy League school boards fret about AP scores. No, OSU doesn’t use them to the extent that top schools do, but in a borderline case, I’m sure they’d take them into consideration if sent them.</p>
