<p>Honestly with a 2100 SAT you should have no problem getting accepted into OSU. And with 1420 reading+math score you qualify for the National Buckeye Scholarship and possibly Maximus or Provost depending on your class rank.

Hope to see you at OSU in 2013! :)</p>

<p>Tbh your application looks stronger than mine was and I got into Scholars so I think you’re fine</p>

4

<p>@sasquatch do you know what number of students they give that national buckeye scholarship to?</p>

5

<p>I’m pretty sure there aren’t a set number of scholarships for the National Buckeye. Every OOS student that meets the criteria for the scholarship receives it unlike some of the other scholarships (Morrill, etc.)</p>

6

<p>Oh yeah I should mention that I AM in-state so idk if OOS has stricter requirements but even so I’d be shocked if you didn’t get in</p>

7

<p>you’ll get in with the buckeye scholarship- my D just finished freshman year- LOVES OSU. she is OOS and is now a forever BUCKEYE</p>

<p>You’re good.</p>
