[<em>] Other stats: 4 on U.S. AP, 2 honors courses, taking 3 AP’s this year, and did 4 post secondary courses (Chinese, Physics, Economics, Government - A’s in all), nhs, I think I mentioned that I started a student pro-levy group but I’m not sure.
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[</em>] Essays: Wrote about how diverse and rigorous I thought they were, because colleges love diversity and being rigorous :). Also wrote about how I chose them because my parents didn’t speak English and I needed to be close enough to still help them out, but far enough where I could mature and all that.

<p>We weren’t expecting decisions until December so I’m not sure when status changed online.
Good luck to everyone.</p>
<p>So this is quite frustrating and I need your guys’ help!</p>
<p>I applied Nov. 30th, and I keep checking my app status online and it says that it’s “Incomplete” because my transcript is the only thing that’s “initiated”. However, I sent in my transcripts forever ago, and I know for a fact that it’s been turned in because I asked the Undergraduate Admissions about it. So my question is, when will it change or what should I do about it, if anything? </p>
<p>Also, when do you guys think I’ll find out my decision? Any ideas? :)) Thanks!! Haha.</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted!</p>

<p>GO BUCKEYES!</p>
<p>Congrats!!</p>
<p>Brandon2me23 - Can I ask when you turned in your application? 
And when it was evaluated and all that?! :)</p>
<p>If Brandon got in I think I def have a shot! Congrats guys</p>
<p>My kids were both accepted. I think they applied at the end of August. I heard somewhere that it is a rolling acceptance and notification is about 10 weeks after you apply. That seems about right since my kids both found out about the second week of November.</p>
<p>stats:</p>
<p>ACT: both 28
rank: D 1/173 S 27/173
gpa: D 4.0 S 3.7
EC: many for both including leadership positions</p>
<p>ethnicity: caucasion
region: both RURAL Ohio</p>
<p>I turned in my app Nov. 1 and the transcripts were all in but yet it said it didn’t have it on the website. So Nov. 14th I called in and asked about and after 20 minutes they found my transcripts. I asked them whether I would be waiting 10-12 weeks from Nov. 1 or Nov. 15 and they said Nov. 15 so I’m surprised I found out so early.</p>
<p>Let my acceptance show the not-necessarily “overqualified” members of college confidential that just because that one kid with a 2000 SAT 3.7 GPA got rejected doesn’t mean you will too.</p>
<p>Brandon2me23 - Thanks so much!! Congrats on your acceptance! I have similar stats as you do, and I’m hoping I’ll get accepted! I had a similar problem - I turned in my application Nov. 30th, with all the supporting materials, but my transcript didn’t show up as “Complete” underneath my app status until today. I’m hoping I’ll be able to find out my decision towards the end of December! :)</p>
