OSU in Oregon or in Ohio?

Consigliere

You stand a really good chance at OSU, i believe. Even though your SAT score is a LITTLE low for the school the rest of your stats would make up for it, write about what makes OSU your dream school and you should easily get in. Good luck.
Chance me back if you can:
Chance a good peruvian, will chance back!

Average ACT score is 28. I would be more concerned about your GPA being a 3.1. OSU doesn't look at weighted GPA. But I think you have a decent shot especially with your ethnicity. They do take that into mind.

You're GPA is okay but you're SAT scores are pretty low. You should aim for somewhere from 1800-1900 on the SATs and you will be good. However you're ECs are great so you will get a huge boost there. Just work on your SATs.

Awards seem to stand out. However the GPA seems just a tad bit low. Although, as of right now, it looks good. Good luck with your ACT, if you can get 28 or so, you'll be set.
