I am enrolled as a pre-CSE student at OSU next year and I was wondering how competitive it will be to get into this major. I get pretty good grades, but I’m definitely not a genius or anything. I’m actually slightly behind in math, taking pre-calc as a senior and only getting a 28 on the math portion of the ACT. If I can’t get into CSE, would ISE or Data Science be any more feasible for me? Any insight would be much appreciated!
You probably already know the classes you have to finish and the GPA you have to maintain (3.2). I will say that around 50% of the students get through.
I do not have any formal or informal way of connecting ACT scores or the Maths levels in HS to their success. Average ACT Maths in college of engineering is probably around 31 or slightly higher. Obviously you know that you will have to work very hard.
If you struggle with Maths classes, I doubt ISE or Data Analytics major will be easier to get into.
