I assume you are attending one of Ohio State's branch campuses (Newark, Mansfield, etc)? If so, it's a bit more simple to transfer to main campus from those feeder campuses than another school all together (I'm a Columbus native, but attended the University of Dayton).
First off, don't listen to most of these guys about schools only accepting certain GPA's with transfers. Yes, it's a factor, but yours isn't nearly low enough. As far as getting an edge on the transfer process, I would just ask as many questions from their office as you can before you officially apply for transfer. Worst case scenario they will give you tips and advice on what to submit, how to submit it, and how to make it look the best. Best case scenario is that one of them is friendly and takes a liking to you and personally pushes it through him or herself.
If college (of which I am a recent graduate) taught me anything it's that those who ask questions are better prepared and ALWAYS succeed. If your department sees that you are struggling , but also sees that you are making a very real effort to do what you can, they will cut you A LOT of slack, even as far as creating independent study classes for you (this was the case for me when they didn't offer a class I needed to graduate my last semester). So speak up, be heard, and ask, ask ask!
That is a best case scenario. But just to make sure OP, that's not something you can do over the phone. Setup an appointment with an advisor.
