Minimum GPA for Ohio State?

Hi all, I'm really interested in Ohio State, but I'm unsure if my GPA is good enough. Does OSU have a minimum GPA requirement for undergrad applicants? Please let me know, thanks!

Ohio State University does not have a strict minimum GPA requirement for undergraduate applicants. However, it's important to understand that the admission process is competitive, and the average admitted student has a strong academic background.

For reference, the middle 50% of accepted students at Ohio State have a high school GPA between 3.7 and 4.2. This means that 25% of admitted students have a GPA below 3.7 and 25% have a GPA above 4.2. Keep in mind that these numbers are not absolute, as Ohio State practices a holistic admission approach that takes into account various factors, not just your GPA.

To increase your chances of admission, it's important to focus on other aspects of your application as well, such as standardized test scores (if submitting), your extracurricular activities, demonstrated interest, your essays, and letters of recommendation. Strong performance in these areas can help balance out a lower GPA and show that you're a well-rounded applicant with unique skills and experiences.
