Admissions Decisions

<p>If you dont mind sharing, what were your stats? I’ve been on evaluation since October. My future loooks pretty bleak…</p>

<p>I think they are admitting the strong applicants first :frowning: does not look good for me at all ! Been on evaluation for quite some time now !</p>

<p>Posted this a moment ago on a stale thread – didn’t notice it was dated 2008!</p>

<p>In-state student
Applied late November, “Admitted” status early December (why don’t they say “Accepted”? This is bothersome)
4.2 GPA, weighted (HS does not rank)
34 ACT
1550/2280 SAT
SAT IIs: Lit 760; Latin 750; MathII 720
Public, strong academic high school (11% of Sr. class National Merit Recognized)
ECs: strong in Music/Band, EC academic work, Classics ECs; a little service work</p>

<p>Hoping to hear from Honors College soon. Hoping for a good package…</p>

<p>sure…my stats were…</p>

<p>35 ACT
4.0 UW GPA, 4.5 W
4/486 rank</p>

<p>tebowforheisman, what major you got?</p>

<p>Haven’t seen any admissions in awhile? Still waiting on my son’s—Has anyone been accepted this week and/or does anyone know if the admission office is working this week since finals ended last week?</p>

<p>Nope they told me I would here by christmas, so Im getting a little worried. It has been 12 weeks since Ive applied so I called the lady did not sound too happy.</p>

<p>I had a friend get accepted on Monday. He only applied a month ago. It upsets me, cause I completed my application in the beginning of October. My application has been in evaluation for 10 weeks, and the person I talked to said that it usually takes 8-12 weeks to accept/deny an application. I just need to be more patient…</p>

<p>to gpp2010: I applied communications. journalism specifically</p>

<p>and yes ohiopublic, I got accepted Monday. So there have been at least a few acceptances this week.</p>

<p>I know of 2 people who were accepted this week. One had a ACT of 30 - and the other 28 ACT - I don’t know the other stats, but both were very active in school. My daughter is still under evaluation, She has a 24 ACT, 3.7 GPA, 4 year Varsity Captain in soccer, all kinds of leadership groups and a/p courses. So, I’m sure she’s one of those average on the “bubble” kids that apply.</p>

<p>Son (ok maybe me) is anxious that he hasn’t heard yet. He had information in late November and has a 3.9 and 28 ACT/SAT 1250. The stats seem somewhat above the median of last year’s class?</p>

<p>My daughter is in a similiar situation as system901’s daughter. She has a 26 ACT, applied in August and had all materials turned in by early September. Still shown as “Evaluation”. Hopefully, they’ll start notification of the median kids soon.</p>

<p>my D had all her materials in by August. She thought getting it in early would be beneficial for her in her situation. She had a strong letter of recommendation for what its worth. We shall see. Its been well over the 12 weeks.</p>

<p>System901 - That’s what I did, and I’m still in evaluation also. I’m also in the median range…I bet we’ll both know our fates soon. I hope…</p>

<p>A couple of days ago i posted a comment about a page on the osu website that indicated that my son had been issued an osu email (lastname.#@osu.edu) </p>

<p>the page is located at [OSU</a> Campus Dining Services : Home](<a href=“http://diningservices.osu.edu/]OSU”>http://diningservices.osu.edu/)</p>

<p>when he clicks on the “influenza sick banner” it lists that he is logged on with an already issued osu email (above)----do any “admits” or “evaluations” have this? We’re hoping that this could be a sign that he has been admitted? Of course maybe everyone that applies is issued an osu email?</p>

<p>Just hoping…</p>

<p>Interesting…</p>

<p>When I click on that, I get an osu style email for my daughter, who is still in evaluation mode. </p>

<p>It’s interesting that it associated my pc with my daughter. I have a son that is a junior.</p>

<p>They must be doing something with cookies.</p>

<p>I find it hard to believe that they would create ids for everyone that applied, but there must be some criteria for them.</p>

<p>All we can do is to hope…</p>

<p>I think they were messing with the system yesterday because for awhile it didn’t even recognize DD’s log in info. Waited about 1/2 hour and then it did. They probably hold an Email address after app in case they need to assign it.</p>

<p>Did some digging…</p>

<p><a href=“http://oaa.osu.edu/irp/publisher_surveys/09ColumbusCDS.pdf[/url]”>http://oaa.osu.edu/irp/publisher_surveys/09ColumbusCDS.pdf&lt;/a&gt; </p>

<p>In 2008, about 21k people applied, about 12k were admitted, and about 6k enrolled.</p>

<p>Being in IT, and that email at OSU is outsourced to Microsoft, I find it really hard to believe that they created 21k mailboxes. Especially knowing that only about 25% will become students.</p>

<p>Continuing to be optimistic…</p>

<p>I tried the email thing too and it seems they issued me an email address. Interesting…</p>

<p>on another note, I recently received a 7K scholarship from Ohio U. My dad (born/raised in Columbus) seems to think this news makes admission to OSU more possible for me. Thoughts??</p>

<p>^my D got a letter about two days after her acceptance letter that she had an email set up, and she needed to activate it in order to receive communication in the future. From a procedural point of view, it makes sense to me that accepted students would be set up with email but not everyone. I am hoping for you!</p>
