OSU Info

So many WKHS students look at OSU as one of their college options.  And as a result I thought that you might want to know the following updates that OSU recently sent to us as counselors...

OSU Campus Visits:

Prospective students can once again visit our campus for a campus tour. Registration for the month of June will start May 24; July dates will open in early June. We are continuing to require masks be worn inside, and students can bring one guest. To register and view our visit guidelines, go to campusvisit.osu.edu.

Our virtual programming for prospective students will continue as we bring back in-person campus tours. 

OSU Test Optional Information:

Many of you have asked about our applicant pool as it pertains to whether or not students elected to submit a test score.

Summary
 

	Use tests	Do not use tests
Applicants	47.2%	52.8%
Admits	57.5%	42.5%
Acceptance fee paid	61.4%	38.6%

Ohio residents account for only 37% of admitted students but for 65% of students who have paid the acceptance fee. Ohio residents also, more than other populations, asked for their ACT and SAT test scores to be considered as part of the application process. Resultantly, the percentage of admitted students who submitted test scores who also paid the acceptance fee is higher than might be expected.

Because of continued inconsistency in testing availability, Ohio State has extended the test optional pilot for students applying in autumn 2022. We’ll be providing additional guidance to students this summer on submitting scores for 2022.

It's fascinating data to look at and it is exciting to see the return of campus visits for those who want that in person, on campus experience.
