@osuprof - if any of my friends ask my advice I will certainly suggest that this is no reason to stop considering OSU. But high schoolers can be very illogical when it comes to selecting a college so I am curious if OSU sees any drop off in applications or yield for this year that might be contributed to this incident. Not sure what statistics show for VT or any other college that has experienced a similar violent incident - hoping they show no such change.
My son was recently accepted to OSU and we paid the $100 fee to confirm his intent to go there. We are just waiting to hear about merit scholarships and are hoping they come through for him! After Monday’s attack I texted him about it. He responded to me and said, “It’s sad Mom, but this can happen anywhere. OSU is still my first choice”. It was that mature response that told me he is more than ready for college! When we were on campus they told us that campus police are always just 90 seconds away from responding to any emergency. This certainly seems to have been the case at OSU on Monday. Kudos to those who helped keep the kids and staff safe in a tragic situation!
My friend got accepted to Ohio State Mansfield campus and they told her she could transfer to main campus after one semester. 3.5 gpa 20 ACT. Just posting to give hope to those without the best stats. They don’t always mean everything! Shes considered in-state.
Does your friend have AP credits? @snakeladyception I was told students need 30 hours to transfer to main campus.
@oliver17 Yes, you do need sophomore status, i.e 30 credit hours, to transfer to main.
I am so concerned that I haven’t heard any decisions yet. I got accepted to Penn State, which is kinda similar to Ohio State. It’s been over 2 months since I submitted my application. Does taking so much time mean I am going to get deferred?
@Taewoolee that doesn’t mean you will get deferred! Ohio state only released on wave of decisions so far. The second wave will come out on Friday.
Two more days till next decisions are out!! Hoping for an acceptance this round. [-O<
Ok this is probably a really stupid question, but I just got an email from osu that I need to print and fill out a proof of citizenship document and hand deliver it to buckeye portal in Columbus, the regional campus I am attending (I will be attending main campus so I can’t hand deliver it to any of them), or something about a financial aid person at our professional school. Does this mean I have to drive all the way down to Columbus just to turn this in? They say this is necessary to be qualified for some of the financial aid offers.
@BuckeyeGuy2021 - you may want to call the Student Service Center. I think most of these items can be uploaded through their document uploader tool on Buckeyelink. I can’t imagine they would expect you to drive down from to main campus for this. Their number should be on the home page to Student Services. HTH
what time will decisions come out tomorrow?
@studentny2017 - There is no pre-set specific time. Usually it has been around mid afternoon ( 3 pm) when people start seeing updates in their OSU profile.
@studentny2017 In the first wave of admissions my son’s online portal updated at 3:30 p.m. CST. Good luck!!
Who’s excited for today???
I am nervous already!
How are you informed? Via OSU assigned email ID or in the application status portal? The application status portal appears to be down.
Application status portal is where you will first see it. The spot that says “Evaluation” will change. You still click on Application Status like you normally would and then you will see if you are Admitted. Don’t be discouraged if you see someone on here get a decision and you haven’t yet. It went on for awhile two weeks ago. Some people had decisions already and my son’s hadn’t changed. Then it did about 3:30 p.m. CST. Good luck everyone!!
i’m soooo nervous!
No she does not have any AP credits @oliver17
When did everyone submit their apps? I submitted mine October 25th, I have not seen any changes to my portal yet today. I’m very excited!! Good luck to everyone!
