Ohio State University Chances!

<p>Okay so I’m a senior in HS now. I plan on majoring in biology for pre med and minoring is some type of acoustic guitar…jazz or blues theory or something if they have it. I’m not sure if this helps any but I’m an African American female. I’m the only black person in my class graduating with honors…except for my twin sis. </p>

I have a 3.6 W and 3.5 UW GPA
23 ACT (still above national average)
34 out of 269 (top 12%)</p>

<p>I have to work REALLY hard on my essay because my grades weren’t all that great.
Pleaseeeee tell me what you think! I’ll chance back…I’m just pretty nervous. But I think I have a decent shot.</p>

<p>Being a minority (African American) certainly would help in terms of admission. Nonetheless, you definitely need to improve your ACT score in order to be competitive! Go Bucks!! :)</p>

<p>My D just found out today a girl in the grade ahead of her (class of 2011) was admitted to OSU with act of 23. Her GPA was 4.0 and not many extracurriculars.</p>
