<p>i applied to ohio state in the last week of october and still have not heard back even though my stats are above the mid 50 and i got into uiuc and purdue which are better engineering schools. i have talked to a few other people in a similar situation that applied for engineering at ohio state. does anyone know if it is typical that they hold onto the engineering apps longer before giving a decision?</p>
<p>Maybe you could check with admissions but I know that when my son started in September, we were told that they had a huge boost in the number of engineering freshmen. I want to say maybe 35% more than the previous year. I thought the stats of the admitted engineering freshmen were better than the stats for the overall university as well.</p>
<p>I also applied to OSU engineering, I sent my stuff in mid-November and heard back mid-January. Luckily I was accepted.
Stats
3.5 GPA
Very average EC’s
Alright essay
34 ACT
One kid in my grade applied for engineering almost right after the application was put out and is still waiting for an answer though his stats were worse(~3.5GPA 24 ACT). Another applied right at the deadline for engineering and also hasn’t received a decision.</p>
