    3.7 gpa vs 3.8 gpa

    consider THE Ohio State heavily. I attended a SMC for 3 semesters and the opportunities brought about by OSU are unfathomable. Huge amount of resources (and 30,000ish girls on campus definitely doesn't hurt).I know it doesn't have the "wow!" factor of the aforementioned schools, but I can...

    Admissions last question

    My junior year I took the ACT, and got a 21 English, with an 8 in writing (I know, not up to USMA standards). however, I practiced my English and pulled it up to a 26 (miracle).
