I applied early action, but I still haven’t heard back. Does anyone know the last day that decisions will come out for early action?
I seem to have the same problem. I’m so anxious right now, having been put on the waitlist by Purdue and denied by UIUC. I too applied prior to the EA deadline as an early action applicant. A lot of my friends have already gotten in, and I’ve been waiting for a decision ever since Jan 15. Every weekend, my hope rises and then falls. Hopefully I hear something from OSU by the next week.
On of one of the OSU threads, someone mentioned that the no. of EA applicants has risen by 4%. The class/batch of 2022 has become really competitive and populous compared to the previous years(for every American university). I guess that is the reason there’s been a delay in the notifications for us EA applicants.
If you still haven’t heard back, I would call them. I called them around 3 days ago and asked when the last batch of decisions will come out for early action, and they asked me for my OSU ID to see what happened to my application. They found that my guidance counselor turned in my fee waiver after November 1st, so my application was moved to regular. But, they said that if my guidance counselor sent an email statement saying that I requested a fee waiver before November 1st, they would move my application back to early. So, she sent an email 2 days ago and then I got admitted yesterday night! Hope you hear back soon
