<p>I can’t find anything about it on the website.</p>
<p>i’m not sure. i saw your stats in another thread and think it’s ridiculous you were denied. i think they are offering admission on their predicted likelihood of the applicant’s attendance. hence, they would say you were “overqualified.” i’m worried the same thing will happen to me and i am in-state which would throw a wrinkle into my decision</p>
<p>Your stats say you should get in? But you mention that OSU is your “second” choice.</p>
<p>Perhaps this didn’t come through in your essay and application? You’ve also mentioned that you sent 3 letters of recommendation. I don’t see anywhere in the OSU application where they want or require that? Could that have counted against you?</p>
<p>I don’t know if calling works, but if you do, I would make sure that your are totally COMMITTED to attending OSU. Most admissions counselors I’ve met are pretty savvy and will detect if you’re sincere or not. I know you’ve been deferred at Stanford. Just be ready to answer this question if asked, “If Stanford admits you today, will you still attend The Ohio State University?”</p>
<p>^ Yessir, OSU is my second choice (1st choice is Emory, I was accepted but it’s not financially realistic AND my dad doesn’t want me in Atlanta), so kind of in a way, it’s my first choice. I’m not telling anyone that I’m fully committing to Ohio State, atleast not yet. I just REALLY want this acceptance because I DO have a lot of interest in coming here.</p>
<p>And yeah I’m perfectly open for calling. But what do I say? “Hello ma’am, my name is ____, and I was wondering why I got rejected…?” That sounds so bad.</p>
<p>You could say something along the lines of “Hi, I am calling to inquire about the status of my application. I was rejected, but I am very interested in attending your school so I was wondering if there’s any way that my decision could be appealed.”</p>
