How to Apply to Ohio State Community College?

I'm considering applying to Ohio State Community College and I'm not entirely sure about their application process. Anyone have tips for submitting an impressive application? Any deadlines I should be aware of?

It seems there may be a little confusion: Ohio State Community College does not exist. You might be referring to the Ohio State University, which is a public research university, or maybe an Ohio-based community college. Each has a different application process so I'll provide guidance for both.

For Ohio State University (OSU): OSU uses the Common Application. Here are a few steps:

- Sign up on the Common Application website, and look for OSU in the list of colleges.

- Fill out the main Common Application form, which will include general information about you, your academic history, and your activities.

- Write your Common Application essay. This is your main college essay. It's a good idea to pick a prompt that allows you to share something meaningful about yourself that isn't covered elsewhere in your application.

- Complete OSU's specific questions and writing supplement.

Early action deadline of OSU is November 1, and their regular decision deadline is February 1.

For a community college in Ohio, such as Columbus State Community College or Cuyahoga Community College, the process is typically more straightforward:

- Visit the college's website and look for their Admissions page.

- They typically have an online application form to fill out. You’ll need to provide information such as your contact details, academic history, intended program of study, etc.

- After submitting the application, you might need to send over your high school transcript.

- Then, usually, you would need to complete orientation, take placement tests if necessary, and then register for classes.

Deadlines are typically rolling for community colleges, meaning you can apply at any time, though you'll want to get your application in well before the term you want to start in, to make sure you have time to go through all these steps.

Also, you should remember that having a solid academic record, showing interest in your field of study, and demonstrating commitment through your extracurricular activities will always be beneficial, no matter where you apply. Please double-check the specific requirements of the college you're applying to on their official website or contact their admissions office directly. It never hurts to get the information straight from the source!
