<p>Area colleges seeing surge in students</p>

<p>Job demands lead to bigger freshman classes despite rising tuition</p>

<p>Quote:</p>

<p>“Ohio State University has accepted 16,469 students for the fall and hopes to have an incoming class of 6,900, according to spokeswoman Amy Murray. OSU will not count the number of committed students until next week.”</p>

<p>Since the official data won’t be released until next week, I will just use last year’s total applicants which was around 30,000 + 10% = roughly 33,000 this year. With this year’s accepted students of 16,469, the admission rate should be at around 50% (49.9% to be exact based on the calculation) down from 55% last year.</p>

<p>Quote:</p>

<p>“During Gee’s tenure, Vanderbilt saw a dramatic increase in student applications—more than 50% in six years—and a similarly dramatic rise in the SAT scores of incoming freshmen.”</p>

<p>He has done it again!! President Gee has made tOSU one of the most academically desired colleges in the nation, recent applicants are flocking in from all four corners of the country (California, Texas, New York & Michigan) including the neighboring States (Pennsylvania, Illinois, Maryland & Virginia) as well as overseas. With ‘Common App’ next year, I predict an approximately another 25% increase (Thanks to the fact that Ohio State is truly the most bang for your buck in terms of affordability & educational quality imho), the acceptance rate will continue to drop down to the mid-to-low 40s, even if the enrollment were to increase by 10%.</p>

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