<p>Thank you for your reply!! Right now we are being told that my son is ineligible for Scholars because of his acceptance into Honors. We are trying to fight that because he feels that the Scholars program is a great match for his interests, but I don't know if he will be allowed to make the choice. </p>
<p>It's good to know that you don't feel like the bottom of the class academically because that is something my ds is concerned about.</p>
<p>Lennox is pretty nice. Their is a target and cinema there along with some restaurants. </p>
<p>BTW for those of you wondering : There is a chipotle on campus next to Newport Music Hall</p>
<p>ebh87,</p>
<p>At this time, the social networking in Honors is not as great as it can be. I have actually talked to students who prefer Scholars OVER Honors based on being involved with both (I myself may be biased as I am currently in Scholars...) but I am actually planning on continuing on with my scholars program while also applying for Honors standing at the end of the year!</p>
<p>I would encourage your student to simply fill out the scholars application, and then make contact with the scholars advisor of the program(s) he would be interested in - and then from that point see what can be done in regards to making an exception...</p>
<p>nathanmc - thank you for your advice. That's pretty much what my son is doing at this point - he applied for Scholars and contacted the advisor of the program he's interested in, but hasn't heard back. Maybe everyone is gone for the holidays until next year. I don't think it will help anyway - they seem pretty firm with the rule that anyone accepted to Honors is ineligible for Scholars.</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p>
<p>Is honors 30-36 or 31-36 ACT? Basically, I have a 30 ACT and top 10%, am I eligible?</p>

<p>Should we only send if she is sure to attend?</p>
<p>ddd928: if your daughter is pretty sure she'll be attending, send the $100 (it is nonrefundable). If she later decides to go elsewhere you'll be out only $100. I wouldn't recommend doing that if the deposit was a few hundred bucks more.</p>
<p>For someone who wants to major in economics, do they go to "College of Social and Behavioral Sciences" Social</a> and Behavioral Sciences: The Ohio State University </p>
<p>or Fisher college of business?</p>

<p>I was accepted roughly a month ago now but I still haven't received the scholarship letter. I was told it would only be a week or two by the student who called me to notify me of my acceptance. For those who have already gotten it, about how long did it take? Money is the only thing holding back from committing and the wait is killing me...</p>
<p>Ok so I was accepted about 2 weeks ago and still haven't been offered Honors. I have a 32 ACT and am #1 in my class at a small school. Do I still have a chance?</p>
<p>If you have the statistics as defined by the OSU Honors website, there is no reason you shouldn't be given Honors status. I would wait a bit longer, maybe, depending on when you submitted your app. If by the end of January you still haven't received notification about Honors then it's time to contact OSU.</p>
<p>in terms of housing:
1) If I apply for housing now to, say, Lincoln, and then change my mind after seeing the dorms, can I easily change the dorm, or will my app be put on a waitlist or something?
2) How are roomates at Lincoln decided. 4 people really could be a hit or miss sort of thing. Is it possible/easy to change rooms?
3) Does Lincoln have AC?
4) are honors kids looked at any differently than regular students by the general student body? Are there specific conotations associated with honors kids?</p>
<p>Hey, I am applying to the Scholars Program and am hoping to become a part of the PSL Scholars Program. I visited campus today for the Scholars Day and had the opportunity to see the dorms (the Haverfield House) for the PSL Scholars. Since all of the rooms are quads, I am concerned about living with four other roomates, especially in such close quarters. I was wondering if anyone had any insights in what it is like to live in a dorm like Haverfield, or if anyone can let me in on a personal experience. I really want to attend OSU and be a part of Scholars, but right now the only thing holding me back is the living situation. Thanks.</p>
<p>1) I think you can change your application up until like July or something when they finalize everything.
2) Changing rooms can be done, I've had friends that have done it. It's really a pain to go through though.
3) Yes.
4) Not really. No one's going to know you're an honors kid just by looking at you. the honors dorms have specific connotations, but they're mostly know for being quieter.</p>

<p>I personally live in a quad setting in Lincoln Tower. I definitely feel that its a bit cramped, but it hasn't much of a problem, really. In general, I've heard that guys have an easier time of dealing with quads because they have less stuff and less need for space, whereas the girls tend to want more space and have more stuff. That's a huge generalization though.</p>
<p>I'll be honest, it definitely feels small. And I know my friends in Taylor Tower quads (which has the same layout I believe as Haverfield) say that it feels like a tight fit.</p>
<p>On the other hand, I know all my friends have learned to live with the tight space, and either are best friends with their roommates or at least get along with them well enough to make the tight spacing work. Everyone has complained that it feels cramped. But no one has said that it's so bad that they can't stand it. People are generally happy.</p>
<p>My daughter was accepted at The OSU for Fall 2008 in the honors program. However, she decided to attend another university which she enjoyed, but it is too far away. Now, she is wanting to transfer back to OSU for Fall 2009. Her GPA is 3.9 for college and was a 4.0 in high school. </p>
<p>As a student that was previously admitted and accepted her place, does she have to complete the normal transfer application? Should we call and talk with admissions first?</p>
<p>What is the best way for transfer students to get acclimated to the campus? Any special programming (i.e. First Year Experience) for transfer students? </p>
<p>Also, how is the financial aid? Are scholarships available? </p>
<p>Thanks for your reply?</p>
<p>Can u get into the honors program if your gpa is low (like a 3.0)... but ur school doesnt rank... i have a 31 ACT if that helps</p>
<p>Which are the best dorms for a transfer (guy) sophomore who is from the northeast & doesn't know anyone at OSU? Wants to meet other kids & have a social life.</p>
