I have a 3.9 gpa and 4.5 weighted gpa which I believe is higher than the requirement for the scholarship as i’m not sure because my high school doesn’t do class rank and I have a 1340 on my SAT which is only 10 points below the requirement. I was wondering if it was still possible to receive the scholarship or if I do not receive it if theres anything I can do to get a second consideration for the scholarship? OSU is very expensive and I need some way to get scholarship money.
Hi @aaggoo03 congrats on admission! The National Buckeye is a merit award offered by OSU but it is not guaranteed even for those who meet or exceed the guidelines posted on the website. Unfortunately, there are many who have already been accepted and more than qualify for NB award based on stats, yet they have not received and very well may not. Therefore, it is highly unlikely you will receive if your stats don’t meet the criteria noted. I’m sorry.
