Hi, everyone! I recently applied to OU (specifically Scripps) and I am eager to hear back. I asked a friend who was already accepted how long it took her to hear back and she told me about two weeks, but the website said six to eight weeks. I applied on Wednesday and have submitted all my materials, but my ACT score is still on the way. After they get my score, how long should I expect to wait for a decision? Can anyone speak from experience? Rolling decisions are such a mixed bag, so I’m not quite sure. Any help would be appreciated!
As I recall with my son (my daughter has not yet submitted her application to OU), it took about 2 weeks to receive a decision–once the application was complete. So if the ACT score is the last piece of your application @mfeltner427 you should expect to hear about 2 weeks after that is received.
Good luck! My son is a very happy junior at Scripps.
@zipstermom Thank you so much! Good luck to your daughter as well!
I applied 9/27 and received my admission decision 10/4 in the mail! Info about scholarships should come in December after their early action deadline. Good luck to you!
@ohiogirl8251 Thank you! I actually applied Wednesday, October 17th and was accepted into Scripps on Wednesday, October 24th, only one week after I applied and one day after they received my test scores. I was very impressed! Congratulations to you on being admitted!
My son applied on August 8th and everything was received (application was showing complete). It’s now been just over 16 weeks and he still hasn’t heard anything. I’ve e-mailed twice and was told they were processing a high number of applications. I’m not sure if it’s because we are out of state, but he received admittance on his other two out-of-state applications within 4 weeks (both with scholarship offers based on his grades).
@Mark80 That seems like quite a long time. I think I’d call the admissions office to verify the status. My daughter applied about a month ago and just received her acceptance to OU. (We are OOS)
@zipstermom - Thanks. I have contacted them twice only to be told both times that they are “processing a large number of applications as quickly as possible”. It’s just not giving us a good feeling about the University and this was one of my son’s top choices.
