<p>[/ul]General Comments: Sorry I rushed through this and I already forgot most of the ECs I did a while back lol. I’m SO excited!!! I’m still deciding between osu and neu but I’m visiting in Feb :slight_smile: Does anyone know when we’ll get scholarship/honors program information? And we have to make a fb group for class of 2017 because I couldn’t find one! Wooh go buckeyes!</p>

<p>Did you get deferred from Mich too? But anyway naah OSU > NEU </p>

<p>I’m probably visiting in February too, but I think scholarship info probably comes out around late march, same time as honors college admissions… Don’t take my word for it though</p>

<p>I just got deferred from umich as well. Its kinda funny b/c I got deferred from michigan and accepted to osu the same day. Its nice to know that i’ll be going to college though. still waiting on most of my results though (ucla, berkeley, washington, usc, unc, georgetown, vanderbilt, northwestern). If you’re wondering I have a 31 act and a 3.6 gpa, but my gpa isn’t really accurate because i moved schools junior year and they had different grading scales. anyways, honors college and scholarship info is around march right?</p>

<p>I think so! Hahah we have basically the same stats, I transferred schools too</p>

<p>Honors college is definitely march, or at least that’s what they told me</p>
