Data Analytics Academic Path Peers are current Data Analytics students who are available to answer questions and chat with Data Analytics pre-majors about life at Ohio State. DA APPs are willing to share their own experiences as a DA major.

Requirements to become a DA APP

• Be accepted into the Data Analytics major (not a Pre-major) before the start of Autumn 2026.
• Be available to chat with students, participate in panel discussions, and attend virtual and in-person DA APP events during both Autumn 2026 and Spring 2027 semesters.
• Be responsive to questions from students. (You will likely only receive a couple emails each month.)
• Be positive, open-minded, encouraging, and willing to engage with other Data Analytics students. Expected time commitment is no more than one hour per week.
• Maintain an OSU GPA of 2.8 or higher.
