Do they release decisions every Friday or every other Friday? Also, if you are a few points above the minimum for the national buckeye do you have a good chance To get it or is it hit or Miss?
Based on past forums that I have seen, the first wave of decisions typically come out the weekend before Thanksgiving (I think it was around the 18th or 20th last year). Or rather, that has been the pattern for the past couple of years. I also don’t think the earlier you applied means you’ll hear back first. I’ve seen other posts where applicants applied literally last minute and heard back within the first couple of rounds. I’ve also seen forums that talk about the more qualified applicants who have the higher stats have their decisions released first but I highly doubt that this is true.
@Shreya18 Decisions could possibly start coming out the weekend before Thanksgiving
@Shreya18, BreBre235 - Last year the 1st round of decision for OSU came out on the Friday before Thanksgiving break (I was thankfully / blessed to hear decision in the 1st round). Prior years were similar.
After Thanksgiving break, decisions came out every Friday around mid afternoon, folks began seeing their profile updated. This continued until Christmas Break.
@class0f2017 -
Wait EA applicants will start hearing next week? Answer: Yes, as early as this Friday, 11/18/2016.
Will people that applied earlier most likely hear first? Answer: If their application was submitted and reviewed early on then they might start hearing as early as this Friday. Based on my experience and knowledge, I don’t think the submission date is the only factor that drives the early decision. You may have two applicants who submitted their app on the same date but they hear back a decision on diff dates.
This is really early for an EA school. Answer: Yep, and love that about OSU.
Good Luck to all!
Hey y’all, I know this is a freshman-admit thread, but I’m not sure where else to ask. If I applied as a transfer student in August, would y’all expect me to get a decision around the same time as freshmen, or later on? Thanks!
I applied for the fall of 2017, btw

@angeljf have you looked on OSU’s website? It could probably tell you about transfers. I have a friend who is transferring and I think he won’t hear back until January but I’m probably wrong.
Do they release scholarship decisions along with the acceptance letters?
@Shreya18 no they come later.
I’m hoping for an acceptance letter!
@dreamed - looks like you totally know your stuff, I’m applying to COE for fall 2017, what was your hs GPA and hs ACT? Just wanna know my chances of first round acceptance!!
When your status still says applicant even though you applied in September<<<
@soyunchico - rough I know people who applied a week before the deadline and are under evaluation
From what I’ve read in much of the commentary above, some of you should be hearing news tomorrow, right? Best of luck to all!
Does anyone know what time tomorrow? Is it midnight or some other time?
Last year, people started posting their good news around 3:30pm ET on Friday, the 20th.
Does having an evaluation status mean anything different than applicant?
@cartidge Yeah, applicant status means they have received your application but have not began to look over it. Whereas, evaluation status means they are currently looking over your application.
@collegegurl2 So do we have a better chance of finding out tomorrow if we are evaluated? Thankss!
