On their admission website they state that if your application was in prior to their RD deadline of February 1, that you should be notified February 17 or March 24.
EA decisions were released December 9 and January 20.

Are decisions emailed or just posted on the portal?
Acceptances? EA (December) was on the portal. Kind of “blah” appearance. Physical letter through the mail was MUCH better.

Kind of “blah”? Curious now… did they have to click on a link to see the decision or was it right there when they opened?
Can you tell the waiting and so many deferrals has us a bit wacky? 
Its been a few months, but if i remember correctly, theres a decision screen on the portal. There was just a line on the sceen telling you were admitted. No fancy graphics, video or confetti celebrating the achievement just…blah.

Just kind of anxious for out-of-state applicants who didn’t apply early, as I’m sure most spots have already been offered during the EA round!
How possible is the RD admission?
I am an OOS student accepted to ohio state back in december. I applied for honors with my application, and I’m getting a little anxious about it. I know they’ll send emails until mid-April, but I was wondering if anyone has been accepted yet? Also, will they send a rejection email if I am not accepted to honors?
Honestly, I’m also starting to stress about merit money and scholarships. Have any OOS students heard anything about scholarships? I would love to go to OSU, but I’ll only be able to if I get a decent amount of money.

Our OOS applicant is an RD candidate who submitted their application on November 12th. Do you know who gets notified on Feb 17 and who on March 24 - is it random? The OSU website lists these 2 dates for RD. I guess we find out soon enough but super nervous here after a slew of deferrals.

My OOS applicant received a Welcome To Ohio State email from the OSU service desk with info for their active student email address. The applicant portal still shows that the application is under review though. We know other schools have experienced glitches with sending emails this week (UF) so we don’t want to get too excited yet.

Same for our OOS applicant. A bit anticlimactic. They just keep refreshing the portal.
Is Ohio State rolling admissions or do they have a date they release? I thought there were 2 dates (feb and march) but I don’t feel like I saw anyone post they got in in Feb. Thank you!
Our applicant heard from Ohio State on February 17th.

Can someone tell me what the split is like between OOS and in-state?
