<p>How long does it take after they have received all of your materials to get a decision? I just got a letter in the mail about them missing my ACT scores (sent them in), and i'm just waiting on them to get my scores and review the application.</p>
<p>Also, for scholarships and aid. I know they aren't very good with aid (42% of need filled), and I have a lot of need. Besides the Gateway program, how difficult is it to receive a scholarship, to cover a large amount (full tuition)?</p>
<p>Decisions are usually made 4-6 weeks after your application goes complete. </p>
<p>Gateway scholarships are a large portion of financial aid given at Ohio University and to receive a full in-state tuition, you'll need a 32 ACT score. There are other opportunities and you'll be notified of these if you qualify. Also, they have a very detailed Financial Aid website and information about scholarships.</p>
<p>So they don't give out full tuition scholarships to non-residents, rather just the Gateway trustee award to off-set the non-resident surcharge, as well as Gateway scholarship awards? And the scholarships are just for tuition, not all the fees?</p>
<p>I'm just worried about aid. Collegeboard states that OU doesn't meet the aid of students, rather 42% of it. Will more qualified students receive more aid than a less qualified student? Are admissions need-blind (I'm likely to get in, but if they see my need, they may be deterred a bit)? </p>
<p>I'm guessing you probably can't answer these questions, other than a "wait and see what they're going to give you" answer.</p>
<p>yea im kinda freaking about ohio aid to b/c i really want to go there. you also have to watch out b/c many scholarships disqualify from parts of the gateway award. They also have a gateway grant so i dont think there is any good way to estimate what your going to get. Im just hoping for at least 15k</p>
<p>I'm out of state and got a Gateway Scholarship and a Trustee award. Even if you're out of state they'll still give you whatever instate tuition is. So, with the right SAT/ACT score, instead of paying $25k you'll be paying $17k. Or something like that. And that's in addition to the $4500 trustee award.</p>
<p>I have a 3.0 gpa (4.0 scale) and SAT of a 1700

I plan to go into Undeclared (Is it easier to go in undeclared) if not i will really go into any major that i can get in with and transfer to an intended major later.</p>
<p>Apply for the major you want - if they can't admit you into that program then they'll consider you for undecided. It's a great system in that it is NO FAULT if you apply to your major. Good luck.</p>
