<p>I’m incredibly terrified right now. I applied to OSU idiotically on 2/1/13, the deadline, and used a CollegeBoard fee waiver for the application fee. For the past month I’ve been patiently waiting, periodically checking the my.osu site, but not being terribly serious since I wasn’t excepting a response until at least late March. Well all of the times I checked it, the application status read incomplete…somehow it never clicked in my brain that this meant my application was not complete (I thought it meant they hadn’t gotten to accepting/rejecting me)…until today. So a month after the deadline I’ve suddenly realized my fee waiver apparently didn’t go through. I have not seen it since I gave it back to my guidance counselor filled out at the beginning of January, as she told me she was sending it in. What do I do? Am I out of the race?</p>
<p>I would call the admissions office. They are probably the only ones who can give you that answers you need instead of waiting any longer. Good luck! :-)</p>
<p>It may just mean your application will be looked at after all of the others. Could lead to a deferment. Don’t lose heart, everybody’s college career has a few setbacks.</p>
