Hello People of College Confidential,
A little Background: Post-Secondary Student. 3.59 GPA 28 ACT. Senior
I am considering applying to the Macedonia campus and then transferring to the Columbus campus? I was considering taking the ACT again, shooting for a 30 and applying to the main campus but I prefer not to have to take it again. What do you guys think.
And sorry if I posted this in the wrong thread :0
I don’t remember OSU having a Macedonia campus - did you mean Marion?
First, it is not clear to me that you are out of range for OSU main campus - of course a higher ACT will increase your chances. But, I personally do not recommend that change of campus option to anyone!. It has at least a couple of significant disadvantages. You will be starting over in different places within 1-2 years, which can be challenging. Next, a regional campus and main campus have very different setups and those changing campus tend not to do well in classes (at least initially). Lastly, getting into selective majors (which means pretty much all engineering and business majors) can be very hard.
My mistake. I meant Mansfield not Macedonia. It just appears that each year it gets harder and harder to get in to OSU and I feel like my GPA is not OSU material. I looked at OU and Miami but they seem to be out in the middle of no where!
