Is Ohio State a safety for me?

@rose621 The past 3 years OSU has started notifying Early Action applicants the Friday before Thanksgiving. It seems that they have been notifying the applicants based on their credentials, with applicants with higher test scores and gpa receiving decisions first. OSU released decisions approximately every two weeks thereafter and continued well into December for the remainder of the EA applicants. Ohio State has been placing heavier emphasis in the past five years on gpa and class rank in a rigorous academic program. Does your school rank ? If so, are you in the top 10%? I think you are definitely in if your unweighted gpa is within the top 10% or even top 25% of your class. 31 ACT is a fine score, coupled with your rigorous course work and APs and “strong extracurricular” as you say. Ohio State does not superscore the ACT. But your score likely qualifies you for the national buckeye plus Provost scholarships, making OSU a great value , for OOS applicants. I know, because my son received buckeye and provost and is a rising sophomore, really enjoying his experience there. Even if your school does not rank, OSU, has a good idea of what gpa correlates with where you stand in your class, based in the Secondary School report your school submits and the OSU regional admissions twos are familiar with most of the high schools where applicants are from.
