<p>I’m glad to hear your interested in OSU! It’s a great university and the college of business is even better. Like you, I was an OOS student looking for financial aid and I was able to receive merit scholarships. Here were some of my stats:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.95 UW and top 10% of class
SAT: 2000 with math/reading= 1400
ACT: 31 English: 28 Math: 36 Reading: 29 Science: 31
AP: About 5 classes? cant remember exactly
EC: Baseball 4 year, NHS 4 years</p>
<p>As you can see your SAT is higher than mine and the fact that you will have 9 AP courses will help you stand out. OSU also likes to look at your class rank for different scholarships so that will affect you too. </p>
<p>In my opinion you basically have a 100% chance of getting scholarships lol… You are limited to what you can get based on your ethnicity, financial need, etc. Go to this link: [url=<a href=“Merit-based scholarships - The Ohio State University”>Merit-based scholarships - The Ohio State University]Scholarships[/url</a>] and look under the merit scholarships. These are the scholarships available to everyone (not ethnically based).</p>
<p>You dont qualify for the eminence scholarship (basically full ride) because it requires math/reading 1520 for your SAT. </p>
<p>The next three scholarships (Maximus, Provost, Trustees) are all the same type with just different qualifications and amounts. You can only get one of these even if you qualify for all of them. Your SAT scores qualify you for the top one however it will depend on class rank. If you’re in the top 3% you will get maximus, otherwise you will get Provost. </p>
<p>Lastly is the National Buckeye Scholarship that helps cover OOS tuition. You will definitely get this one. </p>
<p>In the end Ohio State is still an expensive school but well worth it. I suggest looking for more scholarships outside of OSU to try and help cover some of the cost due to the limited scholarship opportunities. Also, each college within OSU has their own scholarships that they give out to students. Go to the buisness college’s page and look to see what they have to offer. As always, you can fill out the FAFSA and get financial aid from the government if you qualify. Goodluck!</p>
