Admissions Discussion/Decisions - Class of 2023

Do I still have a chance of being admitted to a branch if I did not select one on my application? No decision from the main campus yet.

@TayMarie As long as you are an Ohio HS student, you will be admitted to a regional campus (if not admitted to Main campus). If you didn’t select one, you will be assigned one. Per the OSU Admissions page:

“Options for Ohio Residents: While you are not admitted to the Columbus campus, you have a great alternative: to begin your Ohio State degree at one of Ohio State’s regional campuses (if you didn’t choose an alternate campus when you applied, you’ll be automatically admitted to one). Or, you may apply again later as a transfer student.”

Does anyone know how the National Buckeye Scholaship consideration works for students that come from schools that don’t rank? I’m coming from a california school that does not rank with a 3.78UW/3.92W and 32 ACT.

Also is the scholarship competitive based on major? for example is it harder to get the scholarship coming in as an engineering or business major compared to a less competitive major?

Are they sending out another wave today for EA?

@gej9444 I believe the next wave will be 1/11/19

@gej9444 @OSU1stChoice I don’t think they’ll come out on the 11th. Just saw a post that classes start in a week. I wouldn’t expect them to come out on the 11th because that only gives them a week. I’m assuming next week is when the admissions office comes back as well.

@equationlover lover they had time since the last streak:)

Status: Accepted
Program: Environment & Natural Resource
Plan: Environmental Policy and Decision Making
GPA: 3.7 W
SAT: 1420

Does anyone know when Morill Scholarship information comes out?

@brichman1234 when were you accepted?

@brichman1234 my daughter was accepted last school year in December and notified of Morrill in late Jan

I hope it is January 11.

I was accepted whenever the last wave was

So we’re expecting Jan 11th or Jan 18th?? All of my friends got accepted in the earlier rounds so I’m very depressed now and the waiting has been killing me! Its annoying that OOS schools have gotten back to me a lot faster than my hometown school.

Anyone receive National Buckeye Scholarship with Provost or Trustee Scholarship? I’ve only seen Maximus listed on this thread.

Correction. Daughter was notified 1/5 of Morrill, 1/9 Distinction Finalist and interviewed first week of Feb last year

Does OSU send a denial letter?

Stats: top 10% graduating class 32 out of 400
GPA: 4.4
AP classes: graduating with 36 credit hours, all perfect scores on his AP exams.
ACT: 32
SAT: 1430

Hasn’t received anything, acceptance or denial.

The next streak is expected to be on either 11th Jan or 18th Jan, you will find out then or else later as the deadline is 31st Jan.
By the way, when did you submit your application??

When will honors program be released?

Question: If I meet the scholarship requirements for the maximus, and got accepted during the first wave, but have not heard back yet on the scholarship, does that mean I won’t receive the maximus scholarship?

my son was accepted in first wave two years ago and received his OOS scholarship money in Feb. My daughter was accepted first wave this past November and is still waiting on merit money. She qualifies so fingers crossed!
