Admissions Decisions Class of 2021

For those accepted and paid the enrollment fee, when will the housing information come out? How about the orientation schedules? Thanks.

When you click this link you will brought to the website and then you need to click where it says “territory manager”–it lists all the regional admissions officers for the different territories within the state of Ohio as well as the names of the regional admissions officers for all the states and regions within the United States. And it lists OSU regional admissions officers for International students as well.

@Trollair housing contracts come out in order of when acceptance fees were paid. Should start coming out around mid-March I believe

@trackmbe3 thanks a lot!

Hi everyone,

I was deferred during my EA round for engineering. Has anyone gotten instructions from OSU after being deferred? I want to supplement my application by updating my rankings and GPA. Where should i do that?

@lai18972 I update my material by send my score to the university, and just for sure you should contact with the university. some material can be updated online, but usually gpa must be updated by sending your gpa to university by mail. I suggest you contact with the university first.

@lai18972 my son is in the exact same position. Do you mind sharing your stats?

@oliver17

My combined score for the New SAT is 1450 from two tests (650+800) and 8/8/8 on my essay the first time. TOEFL score was 112 (writing with a 30).My weighted GPA is 3.707 when I applied. My school gives low GPA btw. My Honors Chemistry and Honors Math are 90+ usually, and Standard Physics 95+. I take AP English and get 85 around. I am a Canadian Chinese student studying at Shanghai. I have many science related experiences (summer camps, research), and I am in the varsity team for both soccer and tennis at my school. I have two volunteering experiences (not very major)

tbh I am quite shocked that I was deferred by OSU, as it was originally my safe school…idk what happened there, but I am certainly not going to OSU as I have been admitted to schools like UIUC, CWRU, Purdue, U of T and others already for Chemistry or Engineering.

I am also quite disappointed in how long OSU took to make a decision, as they deferred me one week before February. That is not early application anymore. How is that even early??? Overall, I have lost interest in OSU.

But i do wish you the best regarding your son’s application :slight_smile:

Hi, was wondering if OSU updates you online or by mail, and also when I should expect to hear (out of state, Texas, regular admission) thanks.

They usually update the status online first and then later we received my daughters out of state acceptance in snail mail . So check online frequently for the " application status " where hopefully you will see it go from pending to admitted

To everyone deferred, I contacted the admissions office and they said there was no need to send any updated transcripts or scores unless there was a super-major-life changing thing that happened to you, but even then they seemed hesitant. I tried to call and ask why I was deferred, I had exception ACT scores and EC’s, but I couldn’t get anything out of them. Good luck to y’all.

I just got accepted into Computer Engineering! (First acceptance of the season, so it felt good)

30 ACT, 3.87 UW GPA, and I’m homeschooled :slight_smile:

It just feels so good to have an acceptance after all this waiting.

Could someone pleaaaase answer my question above?!

@project21 congrats! when did you apply?

@nduclaunc You were answered partially. See comment 1476. RD will be sometime in March.

@STLmommg wait, “Pending” to Admitted? Mine says “Evaluation”

I’m sorry. I meant evaluation to admitted. Sorry!

@STLmommg thank you so much.

@OldCheermomDC didn’t see that comment. Thank you!!

@nyanpasu_

I applied in mid-December I believe
