<p>I think you’ll probably get in, but if you want academic scholarships you probably should try to raise your test scores. You’ve got great ECs and your GPA isn’t too bad.</p>

<p>You have a shot. Ohio State is very numbers oriented, and both of your test scores are at the top of the bottom quartile.</p>

<p>There’s been students let in with a 25, but there’s also been plenty of students denied the last few years with 26 or 27.</p>

<p>I’d say that Ohio State is a realistic reach but by no means a match.</p>
