Morrill Scholars Program Class of 2020

Got it at prominence level (full tuition)! Super happy :slight_smile: I got a personal email from the morill scholars program as well. Good luck everyone!

@TheDarkJedi: Congrats…cud u plz state ur stats and notable EC’c…??? Thanks…

@TheDarkJedi Congrats! Also curious to know when you were first notified that you were admitted to OSU. My daughter was notified the first week in January that she was admitted, but still no word on Morrill.

Alright. Today is the last day to hear about consideration for Distinction! Good luck to those who will be interviewing soon! :slight_smile:

Does anyone know where we can see if we got any scholarship?

@pranavrsm Morrill will be sent through email. Provost, National Buckeye, etc would have already been sent through regular mail by now.

We are instate, my son has got Provost, wondering if there are any notifications pending.

An admissions advisor on the phone told me they will not be sending rejection letters this year. Quite upset about this.

@maclaughlin, Thank you for the information, but just to be clear, you were advised that students who are NOT awarded Morrill scholarships will not be informed of same via email, mail or otherwise?

@Jules821 That’s exactly it. I asked about Morrill because it’s my only chance of going to OSU, and that is what the advisor told me that she had been told that day.

@maclaughlin, I just spoke to ODI, the office at OSU that actually reviews applications and awards the Morrill scholarships and I was told that ALL candidates will be notified no later than March 31st, whether they receive a scholarship or not. We are OOS and my D is also hoping for this scholarship to be able to afford OSU, so best of luck to you as well!

I have an email from ODI stating ALL candidates who applied to Morrill will hear a decision, one way or another by March31st.

@Jules821 @dreamed Oh, wow. That’s SUPER good news!! I’m really confused now about why the admissions counselor on the phone told me otherwise. Best of luck to all of you.

Has anyone received a round 2 Distinction interview invite by any chance? If my son didn’t make the cut, it’d be nice to know we can close the this chapter out. The waiting is the worst part of all of this! Lol

@jumbletumbles When I contacted them they said that Distinction notifications would go out until last Monday.

Thank you! :slight_smile: I saw you posted that but haven’t seen anyone commenting that they’d been invited. So just wondering if maybe dates were mixed up or if the last round of people being considered just haven’t commented yet.

@jumbletumbles Who knows. I feel as if they give students false info sometimes. Like the person earlier who said that they won’t give out rejections.

No idea if it’s intentional or not, but I will say they have been the most confusing of the college’s my son applied to because of the lack of clear communication for us. But, it’s their game so we have to play by their rules if we want to play! :stuck_out_tongue:

@Jules821 I was notified mid-late december
