<p>Any idea how competitive the National Buckeye Scholarship for non-Ohio residents is? I have a 1240 SAT (requires a 1220 or 27 ACT), it’s awarded on a “competitive basis”. I also have a 3.2 UW GPA (school weighs grades very funny, but I’ve taken all available Pre-AP/APs). Also any other good scholarships? I AM NOT TRYING TO HIJACK THIS THREAD. I think this information is just as relevant to the OP since he has very similar stats.</p>
