Hi! So I’m only a freshman right now (going to be sophomore). I’m getting pretty worried about my chances of making it to OSU. My grades haven’t been the best. My accumulative GPA is probably going to be a 3.5 (on a 5.0 scale) by the end of this year. I took mostly honors classes so that’s why I feel like it’s bad. My final grades are mostly B/B+'s with some A/A-'s and 1 C. I plan to take more honors classes and college classes (that are worth 4.5 and 5.0 on the scale) in my later years. Since I did horrible this school year, will it ruin all my chances of going to OSU? Also, is there anything extra I can do (like join clubs, volunteer, etc) to raise my chances of going? Thanks!
OSU looks at a 4 point scale, so don’t worry too much about the 5.0 thing - just get As in what you’re taking.
You have TONS of time to worry about this - just do your best now and keep your eye on the prize.
The only thing you can do is your best to get the highest GPA possible from now on.
Best of luck!
