Have excellentDec 17 2015Linguistics
Have excellent grades. Be very independent. Have an idea of what you want to major in.
ACT: 18 SAT: 1580 Female
Maintain highNov 14 2014Linguistics
Maintain high GPA and ACT/SAT scores, but most importantly, enter the university with at least 30 college credits already completed (community college). Ideally, I wouldn't recommend anyone to transfer here with less than 60 credits from community college, as all of the most painful classes will need to be completed here.

I'm a high school senior this year from MassachusettsSep 30 2013Unknown
I'm a high school senior this year from Massachusetts and I really want to get into ohio state. I have a 4.27 gpa and got an 1890 on my sat. I do a ton of sports and participate in national honor society, church volunteering, and work as a beach lifeguard in the summer. Do you think I can get in?/ If I get in could I get any scholarship?
Female
The entrance exam is very jaded and unfairFeb 08 2013Design Arts - Industrial Design/Graphic Design/etc
The entrance exam is very jaded and unfair. If you have a famous name you'll get in, or if you've got a good GPA and bad drawing skills you'll get in. Where they specifically state in their own intro to design class that they are looking more for drawing skills than grades.
ACT: 23 Male
