Admissions patterns?

<p>Hi. Curious if any of the posters who are more familiar with OSU admissions had some info on admissions patterns. I know that some of the Big 10 schools sent admissions decisions daily, while others seem to batch them on a Friday or other specific days.</p>

<p>I’ve gone back over old threads here and can’t really find a pattern. I did notice that last year decisions didn’t start till December, but the year before that it was November.</p>

<p>Of course this is coming from my son who is eager to hear and saw a few of his classmates admitted on Friday night, so he keeps asking “When will I hear?” I know we can’t know exactly, but thought I could manage his expectations a little by understanding their process.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I believe it has something to do with when you finished your application and when it moved from “Completed” to “Evaluation.” I’m not 100% sure on that, of course, I’m just going off my own experience. My application went to evaluation mid/late October and I got admitted on Nov. 21st! </p>

<p>Thanks. I wasn’t asking so much about how they decide who gets the decisions in what order, but more about when each batch is released–daily, weekly, at a certain time of day, etc.</p>
