What are my chances of getting a full ride to Ohio State University?

<p>I am going to be a high school senior this year. These are my stats: 4.0 gpa, 1st in class, 30 on ACT. I participate in French Club, Drama Club, Science Olympiad, and our school unity group. What are my chances of getting a full scholarship to OSU? I know there are some available, I'm just not sure if I will meet the standards of most recipients. </p>

<p>In additon, my family is also low income, if that makes in a difference.</p>

<p>Im not sure what the credentials are, but I was offered a full ride with a 33 on my ACT, so I would say you’re pretty close if not already there to the credentials …Hope you get it!</p>

<p>What scholarship were you awarded Indianboy? When you say “full ride” are you including room and board too? I just know kids that got higher than a 33 that did not get a “full ride”. I am not doubting you - just curious. What was your GPA and EC’s?</p>

<p>My GPA was around 3.94 UW, and my EC’s and Honor stuff</p>

<p>Are you instate?</p>

<p>If you get your ACT up (34ish), you can probably get a full-tuition scholarship without too much of a problem. The Morill Scholarship is pretty easy to get if you are some sort of minority. You should apply even if you are not under-represented. If you are from Appalachia, I think you qualify as well. Also, scholarships stack at OSU, so you should apply to as many as you can!</p>

<p>Indianboy - You wrote that you are a college senior in a chance thread. How did you get a full-ride from OSU?</p>

<p>College Senior? I never wrote that!
I’m a high school senior, and I’m also instate for Ohio</p>

<p>Sorry. I meant high school senior.</p>
