I am on out of state senior with a 3.9 GPA and a 1290 new sat score, i come from a highly ranked high school and got deffered. What are my chances of admittance with regular decisions as I really want to go to OSU. Also, is there anything I can do to improve my chances of acceptance? Thanks
P.S. I also applied to the Business School but I know I dont have the requirements to get into direct admit, is it difficult to gain admittance into the business school as a sophomore?
Don’t know about your chances of getting in off of referral but you can get int the Fisher college of business sophomore year if you have at least a 3.0. Some specialization will need a higher GPA
My daughter got deferred then waitlisted. They usually go all or none on waitlist based on admissions yield. Last year was a none. Surprised that you were deferred with those stats (unless the GPA) is weighted and you were not in the top 10% of your HS class. OSU ended up being the only school she didn’t get into but she’s very happy and did great in her first semester at UConn.
I’m sorry to hear about the deferrals. Did you all find out via the portal or snail mail?
It isn’t difficult to get directly into Fisher as a sophomore - just make sure your GPA is a 3.0 or higher. Many people switch into business from other majors.
If you aren’t in the top 10-15% of your class, OSU seems to be more likely to defer for some reason. You have really good stats, so if you have an updated transcript available, send that in so they have more criteria to evaluate you on, especially if your grades are great.
