Any Other Comments:
I have pretty well rounded ECs, founded organizations, many credible leadership postitions, and I wrote my essay devoted to diversity.
I am kind of shocked by this just because those in my area have been accepted with 24 and 25 ACT scores. I know some with 3.4 GPAs as well. Very odd for OSU. These same students were admitted and not even deferred like I was.
My sister attends OSU (junior) and I have fell in love with this school. I am devastated but I continue to have faith that I get that admittance at the end of March!
Does anyone know anything about being deferred?

Good luck everyone!!

To those accepted, how do I enable my BuckeyeMail? I go to my.osu.edu and where it should say Change Email delivery I don’t see anything. Any help would be appreciated!

Will the next wave of decisions come out before Friday?

When is the next wave of decisions?

The next wave will NOT be next Friday if the pattern of the last few years holds true. Two years ago there was a wave two weeks after the first wave and then another wave one week after that (and after that I don’t recall with clarity the timing of the following waves). But last year the second wave came in the middle of December and I believe there was only one wave in December.
