Your chances are pretty fair - I’d say definitely over 50%. The 25th percentile for ACTs at OSU is ~27, so you’ll need to makeup for your test scores by other means. Your GPA is solid and you’re a first-generation college student. Any job experience? How are your letters of rec and essay?
I don’t have job experience but I have a lot of volunteering hours. I feel like my essay is well written. I worked with my English teacher and the essay is based on a surgerical program I did this summer. I got my college anatomy professor to write my recommendation!
According to the OSU website, the 25th percentile is actually a 28 on the ACT, and the median is a 30. But your GPA and class rank should make up for the ACT and give you a chance at getting in.
