⇨⇨⇨ Expanded opportunities

Through Ohio Direct Admission, participating colleges and universities proactively offer admission to eligible students from participating high schools based on information the school already has, such as GPA, class rank, and/or standardized test scores. If a student meets a college’s requirements, then they will receive an offer of admission without even having to apply.
