Yes, business
@STEM2017 yes, business
Also, one of my friends that got into West Point and is going there got waitlisted at OSU. I’m frankly not interested in OSU anymore cause their admissions department is so bad. I got accepted to a better business school, so I’ll just go there.
even though level of interest isn’t considered, is it worth emailing them to express our interest? i don’t feel hopeful about being pulled out of the waitlist, and it sucks because there are many aspects of OSU that i need honestly.
My D just got the e-mail yesterday saying she was rejected. She was originally deferred when they first started releasing notifications. OSU was a bit of a stretch for her and was really her third choice so not really a disappointment as she got into her top two choices.
@dcolosi, do you mind sharing her stats?
@Oneiota she has a GPA of 3.75 and a 1210 SAT (CR & Math) and a 26 ACT. She is an Elementary Education major and we would have been OOS. She was accepted to IU, MSU, KY and Minnesota. It was between IU and MSU, both gave her scholarships and she is going to IU. We knew OSU would be a stretch for her and she didn’t want to take the SAT or ACT again since she already had acceptances to IU and MSU.
@dcolosi I don’t blame her, she already had acceptances at good schools. Judging by the stats of those who were denied at OSU it’s hard to find rhyme or reason
My application is still under evaluation. Does that mean that I am rejected or something? It’s just been a long wait.
Submitted my application back in December.
Can anyone tell what should I do if I don’t get my decision by 31st March? Because I still didn’t get mine.
At this point, I think you should call admissions.
Thanks. I paid my application fee on the last day, and they got it after the deadline. But then they told me it was okay after I sent them the online flywire receipt.
So I was thinking if that had something to do it ._.
I was accepted with a 25 on the ACT and got my answer within 2 weeks after they received everything. Maybe the standardized testing is not everything and does not guarantee acceptance nor rejection…
I should probably call them tomorrow then
Okay so I called the admission office and they told me to wait for a couple of weeks more.
They’re taking an awful lot of time, I’m worried ._.
@pmcnyc I wouldn’t worry about D doing well at OSU. I think there is adjustment to any school and she will do fine. Her program may dictate any experienced difficulty, not necessarily the school. If she loves OSU, she should take advantage of her acceptance!. On another note, my S has Pitt on his list, also. Initially we were not offered any merit aid. We did the Cost Analysis form on their website and found that Pitt was indeed more expensive than his other top OOS schools. Note: they will only look at OOS schools that are comparable. Keep that in mind. We emailed it back and received a merit scholarship about 2-weeks later that put Pitt in line with his OOS contenders. We are in OH so OSU can’t be beat when talking about cost per year.
Why the heck is OSU taking such a long time???
Ive been accepted to CWRU,UIUC, UCD and other schools which are stronger than osu in other ways, and they have already given out many offers. The excuse of saying they have many applications go to every school almost, especially for UC schools. Also, OSU doesnt require extra essays, but many schools require them.
OSU is taking too much time, my interest for OSU is low at the bottom. I dont know if anyone would agree with me.
Decisions are out. REJECTED
@Oneiota Yes that is true, but you still have to take into consideration the overall application. You could have excellent stats but if the school does not feel as if you meet the other requirements, such as the essays and whatnot, then they still have to look at that. That is what I mean when OSU truly uses a holistic process. In truth, if I had gotten a much higher ACT score and whatnot, odds are I would be going somewhere else rather than OSU.
Deferred and Rejected for Chemical Engineering at OSU. Pretty shocked tbh.
I have 1450 New SAT with a full 8/8/8 essay score. My GPA was around a 3.8-3.9. My Chemistry, Physics and Calculus were constantly between 90-100.
I have some research and science camp experiences. Varsity team for both soccer and tennis. Have some volunteer work. Maybe an above average essay. Wasn’t gonna go anyways. Maybe review faster next time OSU.
