They are definitely meaningless, I don’t know why people are saying they mean anything. The admissions office certainly wouldn’t allow any decisions to leak. And I have extremely low chance of being accepted and mine is also locked.
Ohio State admits major blind so getting into the University is completely different than getting admitted to the specific college. You could be accepted to OSU but rejected from the CAS or Engineering school.
it was last answered 10/28/20 BUT a month ago, the question wasn’t locked for me
two weeks before 1/29 the option was locked, however, I’m oos and ofc Colombus is my only choice
So I guess this year they are just admiting everyone who gets in the university to fisher. The university still admits major blind and your major doesn’t affect your chance of admissions.
The locks likely don’t mean anything. Does anyone know someone who’s wasn’t locked and they were deferred or denied in December? I haven’t even seen anyone report it not being locked. Everyone’s is locked i think.
