Ohio state applicant center questions

<p>so the applicant center missing items list shows that im missing the application fee and recommendation.
2 questions

  1. the commonapp pages said that OSU doesn’t require recommendation? so do i need one or is it optional?
  2. why is the application fee still missing if common app already processed my application, therefore confirmed my payment.</p>

<p>We were told we did have to have a recommendation letter. We did that before the deadline and did receive the EA.</p>
