<p>New Common App member overshadows the others

The Ohio State University
July 4, 2012
By: Craig Meister</p>

<p>As rising high school seniors set out to start completing their college applications later this summer, those hoping to get away with only using the Common Application will have one major new college to consider.</p>

<p>The Ohio State University, a major research university that has up until this coming admissions season only maintained its own institutional application, will start accepting the Common App for applicants to its main, Columbus campus.</p>

<p>The 2012-2013 Common Application will be available online August 1, 2012, and students applying to Ohio State will have to complete both the Common Application and the Ohio State supplemental form. Yet, this is not the only change to Ohio State’s admissions procedures.</p>

<p>The university’s December 1 priority deadline has been eliminated; however, the university still encourages students to apply early in the fall and by the final application deadline of February 1, 2013.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, information collected on the Common Application and Ohio State supplement will inform not only the admissions process, but also Honors & Scholars and Morrill Scholars processes, eliminating the need for separate applications.</p>

<p>Additionally, Ohio State will require students to submit one teacher recommendation with each application.</p>

<p>Ohio residents who want to apply directly to a Regional campus and domestic and international transfer students will continue to apply via the application Ohio State has used for many years. </p>
