To those in CSE or maybe just in OSU in general what were the key factors of your admission?

Hello! So I am an upcoming junior in this coming school year and want to know what are the big factors for getting into osu for cse. I haven’t really been learning about college and the application process and so on, so all I really know is what everyone says about how you should be well rounded and so on and so forth. Unfortunately, I have not been focusing up for my future so I have no volunteering hours, no clubs, and no athletics, though I have had 4.0+ for my gpa freshman and sophmore year. I’m not sure if the requirements to be accepted differ by college or by major, but I want to, as I said, get into osu hopefully for cse. What are the big factors that got you in and what would you recommend such as volunteering, clubs, getting good at essays, etc. Thanks!

Based on CDS, they weight the academics and test score highly. Others with personal experience with applying will chime in on the other questions you raise.

Is the O for Ohio?
