Chances of Transferring to The Ohio State University

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi everyone!</p>

<p>I just finished my Freshman year at Ohio University in Athens. My cumulative GPA for the year is 2.87—this is because I got a D- in one class during the last quarter. I've completed 46 credit hours, so High School transcripts won't be a factor.</p>

<p>I'm hoping that OSU sees the D- I have as a simple anomaly and understands that I'm a pretty decent student.</p>

<p>So, what are my chances of getting in? Do I have a shot? A bad one? A decent one?</p>

<p>Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>Can you play quarterback and are you willing to pay for your own tats?</p>

3

<p>I can play quarterback. But I’m not getting any tats, so payment method isn’t an issue. Haha.</p>

<p>Any thoughts, glido?</p>

4

<p>Bump. Any thoughts, folks?</p>

5

<p>When did you apply?</p>

6

<p>My application was received at the end of May. :D</p>

7

<p>Sorry for the bump again. Any thoughts?</p>

8

<p>Does Ohio State show your transcript as having been received?</p>

9

<p>Nope. Doesn’t show receipt of the transcripts yet.</p>

10

<p>Oh, should probably add that the transcripts were only sent a few days ago. OSU said I had until the 27th.</p>

11

<p>I think the reason why it takes so long for a decision to come out is because the transcripts take time to get to the admissions office. I think they only spend a day or two over the grades and applications and make a decision then.
Btw, where are you transferring from? What will you study at OSU?</p>

12

<p>Yeah, I’m hoping they make the decision quickly after transcripts are received.</p>

<p>Transferring from Ohio University in Athens. I will study Political Science, which isn’t a very selective field. Hopefully that improves my chances.</p>

<p>Fingers crossed.</p>

13

<p>youll get in no problem</p>

14

<p>That’s reassuring. Thanks, monacle!</p>

<p>Would still love to hear the thoughts of anyone else.</p>

15

<p>heard anything yet?</p>

16

<p>I am also a transfer applicant. My transcript has been sent to them almost 2 weeks ago but my status still says incomplete.</p>

17

<p>My GPA is a 2.4 & I’m OOS but when I called the admissions office I was told they consider a 2.5 competitive which is why I went ahead and applied. I really hope I get in! GPA can’t be the only factor. I’ve heard people getting denied with 3.2 and others getting accepted with 2.7. I love OSU. <em>fingers crossed</em></p>

18

<p>How long does it take for a decision after the status goes to evaluation?</p>

19

<p>It says a couple weeks on the website but with the quarter coming up soon, I think they will make them quicker. If accepted student have to do housing, credit transfer, and all that good stuff. My main question is why did they extend the application deadline? Is this a good thing or bad thing for hopeful transfers?</p>

20

<p>Have yet to hear anything. My transcripts still do not show up as received, so I called OSU today and they said they have 'em and they will show up soon. They also asked about my high school transcripts, which was odd considering that I have over 45 credit hours.</p>

<p>Good luck, Lexyb000!</p>
