@dreamed what is your major?
@soyunchico - Fisher College - Econ Major
How do you like econ? I’m considering the econ major in the college of arts and sciences.
@dcolosi do you know if Minnesota gives merit aid? I am considering applying but it’s a $55 app fee and I don’t want to apply if I don’t think I’d go.
@soyunchico Their website does list quite a few different scholarships and aid available so you may want to check that out to see if you qualify for any of them. My D received a “Golden Gopher” invite so we didn’t pay anything to apply. We’ve had quite a few schools send us waivers for application but this was the only one we did. She had a waiver from Butler, Binghamton, and a few others that I don’t recall since they weren’t really on our radar.
TOSU is D’s #1 choice school. Applied EA Aug 24. The wait is nerve wrecking- for all of us!! :((
@soyunchico - I do like Econ, but I am in Fisher college so my experience might be different than that of a Art and Science college student.
@rscgrad - Good Luck
Applied two days ago for Fisher direct admit!
3.7 UW GPA
4.2 W GPA
28 ACT
12 AP’s
Top 4% of the class
So mad! I applied like two weeks ago and my status said evaluation. For some extremely stupid reason, I changed the major I applied for (because I’m psychotic; the majors are in the same college so I don’t even think one is more competitive than the other). Now my status went back to applicant after the change. I know the two statuses don’t mean much but I hope I still hear back just as early!
When do decisions start being released? My application was just completed and now says under review about 3 days ago.
Is the National Buckeye scholarship for out of state students pretty much automatic if you meet the criteria?
@JPGator98 your status says “review” already?
@soyunchico yes!
@zcs1111 no it is not - tOSU can run out of merit money and therefore some students who meet the criteria may not receive it.
@JPGator98 decisions typical start being released the Friday before Thanksgiving.
I applied to tOSU last week. My application status says “evaluation”. When should I expect a decision? Thanksgiving weekend at the earliest?
@Rebels23 - Yes, Friday 11/18/16 before Thanksgiving weekend. Good Luck
One month out from first acceptances. Counting the days
When do EA acceptances come out? I’m a little confused because I’m applying in the EA round, but I read last year’s thread and the decisions started as early as Thanksgiving weekend and went until January with the high stats applicants hearing first. This seems like PSU’s method but they are a rolling school. Do I have a shot at getting in with the first batch? 4.0 UW, 34 ACT, #2 in class, officer in 4 clubs(pres, 3 treasurer), made it to states in FBLA. Model UN awards, etc. Will apply for Eminence but really just need Maximus+National Buckeye to be cheaper than my in state options(PA resident). Also applying to Fisher for finance.
