Has anyone else heard recently?
I am tracking back on this thread and it seems MSP wee typically released on Mondays(comparing the dates that people received email notifications) …thoughts folks ?? While admission decisions typically released on Fridays
Would we get the email to our personal email or to the buckeye email? And if it is to the buckeye email, how do I access that?
@VaishS Your personal email!
@Chopinspiano, I know you are OOS, but which one? We are in PA, and my son has not heard about Morrill. He was accepted into Scholars, and was already granted the National Buckeye and the Maximus Scholarships. Just curious. A friend of his was awarded Prominence 3 years ago and found out in March. Seems things have changed with notification or perhaps he was in a second round of awarding?
@Winky1 SC! I don’t know how they evaluate the essays. From past threads it seems to me that those who were awarded earlier were being considered for Distinction but it seems to be slightly different this year.
@Winky1 Also notifications about Morrill will continue to go out until April. Someone else said previously that there are approximately 3,000 or so applicants and about 300-350 people receive Morrill(Someone correct me if I’m wrong).
The website also says that about 60% of Morrill Scholars are a part of either Scholars and Honors, if that eases your mind
Thank you for your insight, @Chopinspiano, and good luck to you!
@Chopinspiano Thought I recognized your name…See you are also on the USC thread. My S applied to both too.
@SALSRL Yep! I’ve noticed that a lot of people(at least in my area) that I know who applied to Carolina also applied to Ohio State.
For anyone who has already received the scholarship, could you please share the date you were accepted? I’m wondering how far along they are in processing the applications.
I know when I spoke to ODI, they said they send out a decision (receiving the scholarship or not) on a Morrill essay regardless of the outcome.
Does anyone know if ODI, has also started sending out the declines on Morrill Scholarship yet ? Or do they send those out at the very end…meaning in March / April.

I got Morrill Excellence and my email says I am being considered for Distinction. Anyone know what the interview process entails/how selective it is?
@miller8912451 I submitted my app 11/1, accepted last week of December-ish, just got notified today.
I was also awarded the Morill Excellence scholarship today as well. I submitted my app on 10/31 and was just notified
@Chopinspiano My D is a sophomore Marine Science major at USC and absolutely loves it, Can’t beat the weather!
@SALSRL I guess haha. I’ve always hated the humidity and I’ve lived here my whole life. XD
Anyone else heard from ODI?
Has anyone from the second wave of acceptances heard yet?
