Hey, I'm trying to put together a college list and was wondering what the GPA requirement is for Ohio State University? I'm on a mission to get all my ducks in a row, lol. Grateful for any insights you folks might have.
Ohio State University, like many other colleges, doesn't explicitly state a minimum GPA requirement for their applicants. However, to gauge your competitiveness, it can be helpful to examine the GPA of previous incoming classes. For Ohio State, the middle 50% of admitted students typically have a cumulative weighted high school GPA around 3.8.
That said, remember that GPA is just one part of your application. Ohio State, and universities in general, use a holistic review process, considering various factors like your class rank, the rigor of your high school curriculum, your extracurricular involvements, and your essays, alongside your GPA. If you feel your GPA might be on the lower end, showcasing strengths in these other areas can help balance your application.
Lastly, Ohio State also pays attention to upward grade trends, so if your grades have been improving year to year, this would be seen positively. Keep up the good work and don't hesitate to seek help from your teachers and peers. Good luck with your journey- getting all your ducks in a row is a great start!
