Hey everyone, hoping to gain some wisdom from this community. I'm seriously considering applying to Ohio State for undergrad. I was wondering, do they require letters of recommendation? What's the process like for them?
Hello! Happy to provide some information. As per Ohio State University's admission guidelines, letters of recommendation are not required for your undergraduate admission. In fact, they specify that unless applying to their Eminence Fellows Program and Scholarship, they will not review letters of recommendation or other materials that are not required.
That being said, it's always good to ask your teachers or mentors for letters of recommendation, even if your school doesn't require them. They can be useful for scholarship applications or future opportunities.
Regarding the process at Ohio State, it's primarily about submitting your high school transcript and completing their application, which includes writing a personal statement and reporting your activities and honors.
Of course, requirements could vary for specific programs or majors, so it's a good idea to double-check the application guidelines provided by the specific college or program within Ohio State that you're interested in. Good luck with your college journey!
