<p>any unbiased input rjk? :)</p>

22

<p>Xiggi has a strange fascination with UC and likes to mention it frequently in off-topic threads…also, xiggi likes to think acceptance to any UC campus is equivalent and trot out the 60% number. Every UC applicant knows the differences.</p>

<p>Indeed, barrk123!! Thanks for the reminder!! :p</p>

<p>New Common App member overshadows the others</p>

<p>The Ohio State University
July 4, 2012
By: Craig Meister</p>

<p>As rising high school seniors set out to start completing their college applications later this summer, those hoping to get away with only using the Common Application will have one major new college to consider.</p>

<p>The Ohio State University, a major research university that has up until this coming admissions season only maintained its own institutional application, will start accepting the Common App for applicants to its main, Columbus campus.</p>

<p>The 2012-2013 Common Application will be available online August 1, 2012, and students applying to Ohio State will have to complete both the Common Application and the Ohio State supplemental form. Yet, this is not the only change to Ohio State’s admissions procedures.</p>

<p>The university’s December 1 priority deadline has been eliminated; however, the university still encourages students to apply early in the fall and by the final application deadline of February 1, 2013.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, information collected on the Common Application and Ohio State supplement will inform not only the admissions process, but also Honors & Scholars and Morrill Scholars processes, eliminating the need for separate applications.</p>

<p>Additionally, Ohio State will require students to submit one teacher recommendation with each application.</p>

<p>Ohio residents who want to apply directly to a Regional campus and domestic and international transfer students will continue to apply via the application Ohio State has used for many years.</p>

<p>Starting NOW (Aug 1st), Ohio State has elevated its admission standards, and becomes the 3rd most selective school in the B1G, behind only Northwestern and Michigan.</p>

<p>Arguably,</p>

<p>*The most experienced College President: Gordon Gee
*The best coach in College Football: Urban Meyer
*The best coach in College Basketball: Thad Matta</p>

<p>Academically + Athletically + Faculties + Facilities + Fundraising and now Selectivity!! TOSU continues to rise!!! lol </p>

<p>Go Bucks!! :D</p>

24

<p>More so than Wisconsin and Illinois?</p>

25

<p>@OTOTA457,</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yup!! Thanks to all the aggressive academic improvements and ‘Common App’ implementation under the leadership of President Gordon Gee. Here is the projected impact of Common Application for tOSU this upcoming year:</p>

<p>*Minimum Impact: 50% ACT 27-31 with 20% app increase and 53% Acceptance
*Maximum Impact: 50% ACT 28-32 with 30% app increase and 48% Acceptance</p>

<p>Best of Luck & Go Bucks!! :)</p>

26

<p>Accepting is one thing. Getting them to Columbus is another.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>No strange fascination, UCB. And since I like to trout out that number so often, you ought to remember where it comes from … since you notice it every time.</p>

<p>Do not take MY word for it. I hope you’ll agree that The Office of the President the University of California might be trusthworthy. Here’s the source:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Is that really different from what I wrote in “This is not much different from the University of California system as they ALSO accept upwards of 60 percent all applicants.”? </p>

<p>Pay closer attention to what I actually write, and not what you think I am writing!</p>

28

<p>

</p>

<p>Well barrons, I can almost guarantee that the “yield” for tOSU will still be around 40% next year! People love Ohio State and certainly enjoy living in Columbus imho!! Go Bucks!! :)</p>

<p>P.S. I am moving in the next few weeks (still in Chicago, but got lots of stuffs to move)!! So, I will be very busy and off CC for quite a while… Please don’t forget that ARWU ranking comes out on the 15th of this month and THES to follow besides USNWR!! Bye Everyone!!~ ^o^v</p>

29

<p>^ Thanks for the heads up, Sparkeye. Unfortunately, only USNWR rankings can be discussed here. Any mention or discussion of the ARWU or THES rankings are moved to the graduate school forum.</p>

<p>Yield on Common Ap will be half the normal OOS yield for OOS apps.</p>

31

<p>Go Blue,

</p>

<p>Look at this: [University</a> of California - How to apply](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/how-to-apply/index.html]University”>How to apply | UC Admissions)

It means a random candidate checking all the UC (does it cost extra? if not, i don’t see why anyone wouldn’t do it) would have 60+% chance getting in somewhere. Each UC campus’s applicant pool is inflated in size because even the weak applicants would apply to, say, UCB, because it doesn’t take any extra effort.</p>

32

<p>

Yes, extra fee applies for each campus. “Somewhere” in this case is Santa Cruz, Riverside or Merced. </p>

<p>

You have stats to show that? It costs extra money to apply. If there ain’t a chance to get in, why pay the extra money?</p>

33

<p>

</p>

<p>That would depend on how much extra. The ease is a factor too.</p>

34

<p>$70 per campus. $80 per campus for international applicants.</p>

<p>How much to add an additional school on the Common App?</p>

35

<p>Statfinder for 2009 (last year available) has the following admit rates for frosh applicants with Total SAT Reasoning of 600-1499:</p>

<p>Berkeley: 5,216 applicants, 226 admits, 4.3%
Santa Cruz: 5,218 applicants, 1,968 admits, 37.7%
Riverside: 9,378 applicants, 6,490 admits, 69.2%
Merced: 5,982 applicants, 4,902 admits, 81.9%</p>

36

<p>^I am not sure. I think the fees depend on the school.</p>

37

<p>Sam, I knew that and I fully agree with you. I was responding to the claim that “the University of California system … ALSO accept upwards of 60 percent all applicants.” I don’t see any data supporting that claim, do you?</p>

38

<p>GB, what do you call data? Do you think the numbers published by the UCOP are for the birds? I have posted links to the data. No claims here … but verifiable facts. </p>

<p>Do yourself a favor and check the admission data published by the UCOP. In case what I added in post 27 is too hard to comprehend.</p>

<p>Hint? Bottom of second page for unduplicated numbers. University wide is what UC SYSTEM means.</p>

39

<p>Sam, xiggi just posted the number you were looking for.</p>

40

<p>

</p>

<p>Of course, acceptance rates do not tell the whole story (or even very much of the story by themselves). CSU East Bay has an acceptance rate similar to that of Berkeley (if you believe the USNWR listing of acceptance rates), but is an unimpacted campus where minimum CSU eligibility (a 2.5 GPA and 900 SAT CR+M qualifies) gets in. Digging deeper in CSU reports indicates a lot of incomplete applications that are seeming counted in the denominator in the USNWR acceptance rate…</p>
