<p>Dad II, OOS students are the only group of people to receive a "rejection" letter.</p>
<p>The "rejection" letter for in-state students is called the "options" letter, which is essentially an acceptance letter to the regional campus that the student marked #1 on their application.</p>
<p>^Exactly. In-state students can't (well, not so much "can't" as "aren't") be denied from the Ohio State University system, but they can be denied from the Columbus campus.</p>
<p>Thank you ofg and ha58. Anyone could go to OSU was what I was told. I guess the difference is whether at columbus campus or not. </p>
<p>It is nice to have that point clarified</p>
<p>DD was accepted this week, 2310/2400 and 34 on ACT, two solid extracurriculars. OSU is one of her top choices, money or no money.</p>
<p>MAG, I'm 100% sure your D will get pretty big $$$$</p>
<p>have any one received invitation to honor program yet?</p>
<p>One of the boys in D's HS told her that he already received the invitation. This got D all upset thinking she is not getting into honor.</p>
<p>I have received nothing regarding scholarships or the honors program yet. I'm thinking the initial round of admissions letters were to start getting in the heads of big numbers kids who are probably considering OSU as only a safety at the moment. By sending decisions before the EA decision date, they are hoping to garner some good will with the applicant, being the first college decision with which many kids will be saying, "I got into college!"</p>
<p>Here is the "in" list, Hope I did not miss any one. Looks like there are already quite a few very strong students </p>

<p>Wow, looks like there are more OOS than IS now. I hope it is not just the football that attracts all of you OOSer</p>
<p>no offense to ny fan but nyfan11 1220/1890 SAT 3.37 gpa oos, how did the one person with the 3.5 and the 29 on the act get rejected</p>
<p>They might be looking at the overall quality of a student, if I recall, the person who had those scores was deferred and did mention that their ECs were not the strongest. Just putting that out on table. Maybe OSU is really putting an emphasis on ECs.</p>
<p>Because I have about 4 leadership positions, have a weighted gpa that is very good, top 20 percent in an extremely competitive high school, took near 10 honors classes, 3 APs, very good recommendations and essays</p>
<p>nyfan,</p>
<p>People like you are the reason I am still holding on hope that OSU accepts me.</p>
<p>I have very strong ECs, wrote really good essays, have a higher GPA then you (Didn't take classes of anywhere near the rigor of your classes though) had excellent recs (Especially my counselor) but my SAT was 150 points lower.</p>
<p>All I can do now is hope and wait!</p>
<p>Go Buckeyes!</p>
<p>Lets beat LSU!</p>
<p>Hope to help some fears related to acceptance. OSU's actual admissions report from fall 2007 at this site

The letter is dated December 5th though. I sent mine in on November 24 and it was confirmed received on the 26th. adding myself to the list:
