Hello, I'm currently a freshman at Ohio University. When I first applied for college I did not get accepted into Ohio State. This came as no surprise to me but it was disappointing nonetheless. My GPA throughout my first couple years of high school was horrendous due to my own lack of discipline and maturity. I managed to raise it a bit junior and senior year but the damage had been done. I got a 30 on my ACT without studying for it. One of my biggest regrets is actually not doing any preparation for the test and no taking it seriously because I feel like I could have achieved an even better score if I put any work in.
Ohio State was my first choice but clearly that didn't work out and I ended up going here. I still wish to go there but I've been stressing out over the transfer application greatly. I did well my first semester and earned a 3.7 GPA. I have kept up that production through this semester as well and might even get a 4.0 this time. However, here is where the probem lies: I am still undecided on my major. I feel like I've grown a lot as a person, but I still haven't decided what I want to be. I want to go to Ohio State because I love it there. I love the city, the atmosphere, the pride of the students, and I feel like there are countless opportunities for me there.
What I'm trying to get at is that I don't know how to go about my personal statement for my transfer application. Obviously I don't want you to write it for me, but I'm just concerned about how much my undecided status currently is going to hurt me. I feel like OSU is where I can find my place, but I don't want to sound directionless on the application. Basically I'm just ranting at this point but maybe all I need is for you guys to calm me down about this situation.
