<p>I can’t really find any relevant statistics on this… So if anyone is familiar with OSU engineering, how selective/hard-to-get-into is tOSU’s honors program for engineering? If you’re an honors engineering student or were accepted into it, could you post your stats?</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>Hi. Honors decisions aren’t out yet as far as I know so I’m not sure if people will be able to give you info on that. That said I believe decisions to admit you into the honors college are independent of major, and I don’t believe being in engineering in will make it any harder to get into the honors college. </p>

<p>Oh, I didn’t know it was independent of major. That’s a big help, thank you! </p>
<p>Hi. Son got accepted to OSU honors engineering in 2013…he is currently in his second year. We are OOS, from MA. His GPA was 3.6, he ranked #2, and SATs 2010. He applied reg decision and received an honors acceptance a couple of weeks after getting admitted. The honors letter came from the engineering dept.</p>

<p>Thank you! (: Did he have stellar ECs or any particular hooks? </p>
<p>Not many EC’s, I believe Math team and Science club, no sports, pretty good essay, and a good HS transcript. Lots of Honors and AP classes.</p>

<p>Thanks again! That gives me an idea. </p>
<p>Not sure how important this is, but the average ACT was around a 32-34 if I remember correctly, and the average SAT was around a 1400-1520 if I remember correctly. Could be off by a few points here or there, but I’m pretty sure those are the stats for the mid 50% for honors.</p>
<p>@micmatt513 </p>
<p>1400-1520 on the SAT is not at all proportional to 32-34 on the ACT, unless this was when the SAT was only divided into maths and verbal reasoning. </p>
<p>Are these statistics for honors students at OSU, engineering students, or honors + engineering students? </p>
<p>They don’t consider the writing portion of the SAT at Ohio State, I believe. I was referring to Math/Critical Reading, which I should’ve specified. Sorry for the confusion.</p>
