For me it was easy since it was a commonapp school, and honestly when I applied I had no idea that I would be accepted. I’m one of those people that when an opportunity like a scholarship is offered I will apply for it regardless of where it is for, which is why I ended up applying to twelve schools.

My aunt also works for Ohio State, and my mom went to graduate school there so they encouraged me to apply, I have also been an OSU fan all of my life, so that is why I applied.

To all those people who said that getting this scholarship is much harder than getting into an Ivy League, I think it is extremely different. While the applicants all have great grades, they alone will not get you in. I was denied from UVa and Washington St. Louis and didn’t even apply to any of the Ivies. I think the selection has much more to do with extracurriculars and the interview. I am just as surprised as all of you are.
