How to Conquer the Crimson and Cream: YourHilarious Guide to Getting into OU
So you have a hankering for Sooner Nation, a craving for crimson and cream, and a dream of becoming a legend...well, maybe not a legend (yet), but definitely a student at the University of Oklahoma! Fear not, my friend, for this guide will be your compass on the journey to OU's hallowed halls.
How To Get Into Oklahoma University |
Step 1: Be a Scholar, Dude (or Dudette)
- GPA: Admissions folks at OU love a strong GPA, think straight A's with a sprinkle of B's for variety. You don't need to be a genius, but showing you can handle academics is key.
- Coursework: Don't just coast on easy classes! Challenge yourself with AP or IB courses. They'll make you sweat, but admissions will see your grit and know you're ready for the college trenches.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
Step 2: Test Your Might (or Might-ish)
- ACT/SAT: While not mandatory, a good ACT or SAT score can seriously boost your application. Think above a 1100 on the SAT or a 24 on the ACT. Aim high, but don't stress too much - you're more than just a test score!
Step 3: Be You, But Be You on Steroids
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
- Activities: Don't just sit around watching reruns of Friends (although, we all love that show). Join clubs, volunteer, play sports – anything that shows you're a well-rounded individual. Bonus points for rescuing kittens or winning pie-eating contests (true story, that's a thing at OU).
- Essays: This is your chance to shine brighter than a Sooner Schooner headlight! Show your personality, your passions, and why OU is your perfect match. Don't be afraid to be funny (but avoid typos – those are application killers).
Step 4: The Waiting Game (May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor)
- After submitting your application, all you can do is sit back, relax, and maybe do some light sacrificial chanting to the Sooner gods (totally optional). Seriously though, try to stay calm. Breathe. You've got this!
Bonus Tip: Visit OU if You Can!
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
- There's nothing like feeling the energy of a Sooner game day or strolling through campus on a beautiful Oklahoma day. Seeing OU in person can solidify your desire to be a Sooner and give you some amazing content for your Insta story.
