<p>Thought I would open a thread focuses on the next wave of announcements. Based on site probably won’t hear until Mid January. Has anyone heard anything different?</p>
<p>Waiting patiently for now…My S applied for Engineering Scholars. Honestly he is not 100% sold on the concept but if he gets accepted to Scholars when we come to see the school in person in February I think he will realize what a tremendous opportunity it would be.</p>
<p>I cannot speak directly to scholar notifications, but Honors notifications are sent out mid-January to mid-February. They are both part of the same program (the “Honors & Scholars”). </p>
<p>Scholars designation has no effect on coursework. It does, however, REQUIRE that you live with other members of the same group for the first year. Honors changes your coursework. Honors housing is available, but is not required.</p>
<p>Heard notifications will begin a little later this year so prepare for late January or more likely February.</p>
<p>Just got an email that i was accepted into the scholars program(I specifically applied to scholars not honors)</p>
<p>Got into the scholars program! Just got an email 5 mins ago!</p>
<p>I didn’t get an email, but I applied to Honors and Scholars. Do you think that could be the reason I didn’t get an email?</p>
<p>I don’t know…maybe they send them out in clumps</p>
<p>I got the email saying I got into scholars at 8:04 pm today.</p>
<p>Thank you for the info! Checked email and D is in scholars! Yippee!</p>
<p>which scholars program are you guys applying too?</p>
<p>I hope to be in the business scholars because I really hope to be part of the fisherdirect program as well. The only bad thing is that if I don’t get into the business scholars, there aren’t any other programs that really apply to me and what I want to go into…</p>
<p>DD2 has been accepted to Scholars as well. I think there were 3 options that were interesting to her - Green Engineering, Humanitarian Engineering and Architecture. I think she mentioned that there was a Scholars day on January 28.</p>
<p>My email just said that “the initial notifications are being sent out” and more will come through the month in clumps so we should check the buckeye link. Where do we check? Application status page looks the same as initially</p>
<p>We received email to personal email address( supplied on common app)</p>
<p>So you guys got your email through the personal email address, not the OSU email? Ahhhhhh I haven’t heard anything and I realllllllly want to know.</p>
<p>If anyone doesn’t mind could you post the stats for those accepted? My S is waiting for his scholars notification. We got the announcement but not his notification. He is in engineering and hopefully getting in either green engineering or humanitarian. THanks</p>
<p>DD2 learned she was accepted this morning and is considering Humanitarian Engineering. She is OOS, has 4.58 WGPA and 1330 SAT/28ACT, 6 APs. NHS, Captain of 2 sports, community service including Habitat for Humanity.</p>
<p>D just received notification that she has been accepted into the scholars program.
Pros and cons of this choice?</p>
<p>I received notification of my acceptance into the scholars program yesterday. Does anyone know how likely it is that you receive your first preference? Health Sciences is really the only category that I want, besides Biological Sciences.</p>
