<p>I truly don’t think the legacy angle has any bearing on acceptance to OSU. Consider that OSU has over half a million living alumni; odds are pretty good that a large portion of applicants will have some sort of legacy ties.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone, I hope you all receive notification of admission soon!</p>
<p>I have been holding off on posting-didn’t want to jinx anything. But…my S was admitted today! Of course right after I told him he probably wouldn’t hear anything this week since it was a holiday!</p>
<p>We submitted the app on Oct. 27th. He still needs to do the H & S app and then more nervous waiting! :-)</p>
<p>Congrats nervousnellie1! Can you provide basic stats? How long was his app in evaluation mode, in state or out, any hooks, scores etc. What a great Thanksgiving gift! :)</p>

S has similar stats, many Honors/APs, EC’s, leadership roles, job and we are OOS. Application was completed 9/24…now on week 10 of waiting…ugh!!</p>
<p>Nova, my D actually applied Sept. 14th but the school did not send her “file/packet” until Oct. 3rd. Do you know when the school actually sent your Son’s information? Also, do you know if they sent it electronically or mail? Ours was electronic for everything and she had also taken the SATs and ACTs again in October. As for alumni, my husband is so my D searched high and low to find a spot where they might see it, but it really does not exist - bummer! Hang in there and hopefully you will have good news soon - my fingers are crossed for your S!!!</p>
<p>Something like that happened with me…I applied October 5th but my status didn’t change to evaluation until November 1st…sooo not fair! Now I have to wait even longer and the wait is killing me.</p>
<p>CrazedMom, thanks for your reply and well wishes! 
My S’s counselor sent transcripts electromically immediately after application was sent and SATs from June were sent directly. He did send updated SAT’s in October as well, so it’s possible that shuffled his file around a bit. Hopefully the wait won’t be too much longer.</p>
<p>Been waiting since Sep 18th, hopefully I will hear something soon…</p>
<p>Anybody have any idea when admitted students might hear about Honors/Scholars acceptance?</p>
<p>hope2help, did you send in the application for honors/scholars yet?</p>
<p>yes, actually it is my DD and she sent it a few weeks ago</p>
<p>I applied as an out of state student maybe two weeks ago. I kept checking my status on the webpage until a week until Wednesday when it was changed to “needs grades through 12/11.”</p>
<p>That was applying to the Chemical Engineering program.</p>
<p>I don’t know why you haven’t heard back yet. I should be hearing back around Jan. 1st once I resubmit my updated transcripts.</p>
