<p>Classes:</p>

<p>I will graduate with 5.5 credits of social studies, including 1 honors class and 2-3 college classes (I was going to take an easy social studies elective but I want to challenge myself by getting my schedule changed to add a college class, if the administration lets me) 4 credits of English (4 years honors, including 1 year AP), 4 credits of math (none honors, math is my weak subject), four years of French (2 years honors, won awards), 3-3.5 credits of laboratory science (1 honors, 3.5 depends on if I can replace my other easy elective with a college science class), 3 credits of fine arts, and 1 credit of business.</p>

<p>OSU: Low match (OSU has more in-staters from Columbus and Cleveland than from anywhere else, so I believe Appalachian Ohio has an advantage)</p>

<p>Yeah, I’ve heard that they’re a bit easier on us Appalachians. I’m very good at writing, how much will my essay factor in?</p>

5

<p>I definitely think you’ve got a good shot. The only essay required for OSU is the Common Application one, unless you are applying for the Scholars program.</p>

6

<p>I don’t think I have to worry about getting into their Scholars program because my class rank isn’t high enough. </p>

<p>If I’m not going for a STEM degree, will the fact that my math and science grades are generally around a low B be less important?</p>
