@dreamed ,Thanks.
Has anyone received any new notifications about Morrill? Or happen to have any idea of when the next wave might be expected?
It looks like this time last year they were coming out again.
@jumbletumbles still nothing :((
@jumbletumbles & @VaishS - Same here, nothing from ODI yet …I guess no news is good news … although the wait is tough … 
I was just notified on Friday about receiving prominence and invited to the distinction weekend today so don’t lose hope, there’s still plenty of time! @jumbletumbles @dreamed @VaishS
@16brownl Congrats! Would you mind sharing what the date for the the Distiction interview Weekend is?
@kidfromchicago it is not required to live in a Morrill housing unit but if you receive Morrill and join their living community which is optional (Blackburn I believe) you cannot participate in any Scholars program during your first year.
Choosing housing now has no impact on whether you receive Morrill.
@Chopinspiano , Thanks for the info. Still in limbo on Morrill, I guess I’ll see what happens.
Distinction notifications will continue to go out until Monday. At this point they have read most of the applications and are filtering through those that they want to interview.
Any word on Excellence notifications ?
@dreamed no, nothing new except that they will continue to go out until the end of March. My guess is that most of the awards have either been given out or they have already been paired with a student and are waiting to be released through email.
Has anyone heard about people being rejected from morrill? Aka does that mean anyone who hasn’t heard back from ODI has a higher chance of getting a rejection letter than getting the scholarship?
@mary16 - I had raised that question with them a few weeks ago. Here is their response : All MSP decisions are sent out on a rolling basis so I can’t give you an exact date of when you will be notified as to whether you did or did not receive the scholarship; however, I can tell you that the latest you will know (either way) is by the end of March.
If you are invited to interview for distinction but do not receive the award, do you receive excellence?
My son just received notification this morning that’s he’s been awarded the Excellence. I have no other info about it because he only texted me from school to tell me. Applied 10/30, accepted 1/22. @dreamed @VaishS I guess they’re finally starting on IS students??? They moved at what feels like a snail’s pace with everything for my son’s application so we fully expected not to hear anything until 3/31! Lol
@jumbletumbles - So very happy for your son and to hear that they are finally coming out !! When you speak to him, can you find out if he received the notification via Buckeyemail account or his personal email ?
@dreamed I will! But I’d put $ on it coming through his regular email because he doesn’t check Buckeyemail from his phone. I guess it’s a convoluted process to log in & he doesn’t bother from his phone. ???
@jumbletumbles - Thank you.
It was indeed personal email.
Has anyone else heard back about Distinction?
