I was accepted about a month ago into OSU. female from New Jersey! I also found out that I recieved the Morill Prominence Scholarship (full tuition) !!! so excited and blessed. When I tell you guys, the criteria is deeper than just numbers! I have a 3.6 GPA and a 1080/1600 SAT (not amazing right or CC material) Seems impossible right?.. nope! someone must have read my essay and really been moved. (I wrote my essay about being mixed with latin/black and basically how it’s affected my life and propelled me to be an excellent student/young entrepreneur) … I applied to so many schools and everything seemed hopeless because it felt as if all my hard work in high school didn’t pay off! I wasn’t getting sufficient scholarships, at risk for taking out crazy loans, and I was even getting rejections
until the unexepected happened & I saw that scholarship email! But my message to ANY future students applying to any big schools/scholarships … DO NOT LOSE FAITH and stop obsessing over ‘college confidential’ academic stats and what everyone THINKS THEY KNOW is “qualified”! Do your very best and you will be rewarded! You will miss EVERY shot you don’t take! btw: To my future OSU classmates, i’ll be accepting the travel grant and visiting for GoBuckeye Day. I will be a future business major in the fisher school of business (AMAZING) but my first semester I will be in the Exploration management program.
I want to know your stories guys !!! And what you’ll be studying,where you’re from, etc.
