Our daughter just received an email this afternoon notifying her that she has been selected for the Prominence award which waives the OOS tuition… We are thrilled and incredibly blessed to have this opportunity. In addition she also received a letter through the mail stating her direct admission to the Fisher School of Business. So Excited!!! I hope all of you get the same exciting news.
congrats that is awesome! Do you mind sharing her stats so we can all compare with our own chances? thx!
Congrats to your D. When did she apply?
She applied October 10th and was admitted on November 17th. Her stats are as follow 29 ACT and 4.0 plus GPA. Lots of EC’s , sports, jobs, etc.
Congrats - that’s a wonderful recognition of your daughter’s achievements and perceived future contribution to the Buckeye community!
I received the Morrill Prominence Scholarship via an email. OOS living in India…SAT 1380
Anxiously awaiting news here. I have a National Merit semi-finalist with an ACT score of 34, SAT of 1520 and weighted GPA of 4.2 (3.99 unweighted). Getting lots of attention and offers from several other schools, but no love from my alma mater!
Hang in there OSUDad, my daughter felt the same way. She found out she received prominence at the end of January and Dinstinction beginning of March.
I was at least hoping to get an acceptance. We have already accepted the fact that the scholarship offer will not be close to what is available at other schools (at least based on experience with my older two kids and information from others).
My son applied for the Morrill Scholarship but hasn’t heard anything am I to assume he didn’t get anything or will there still be notifications later. He was one of the first rounds to hear of his acceptance.
@OSUDad S is also NMSF w/34 ACT and no acceptance, so pretty startling to hear they are handing out merit already. I don’t get it.
Other than @uscitizenindia (congratulations), have any other Morrill Scholarship recipients been notified?
@runmama yes, @1917souci above did as well
Joining this thread…Son applied for Morrill and we too are playing the waiting game. Wild that notifications are already going out in the emails. Keeping our fingers crossed here for our OOS son.
Anyone know an estimate on time when emails are sent out?
On Nov 29, my friend (also applied for Morrill) got a phone call from a Morrill Scholar who talked about the program with him and application stuff (not sure about the specific details, sorry). She said that notifications would go out in a couple of weeks.
@gsumkin
Thank you, @dangkat5 ! I know some notifications went out last Friday so i figured emails would continue to be sent every friday
@gsumkin No problem! Not sure if it matters, but my friend is in-state. Good luck!
If you are awarded the scholarship, is there an interview after?
@purpleigloo Only for the distinction. Typically they’ll award someone one of the other scholarships and later on email them stating they’re a candidate for the distinction and they go to the campus for an interview. People from past years said there is also a tour and either a luncheon or dinner, I forgot which one.
