I feel yalls pain of waiting lol… I as well applied in mid sept… weird thing is NO ONE in my school has heard back yet… even my one friend (who’s not even going there) still hasn’t gotten a decision and he has 35 act 3.9 unweighted gpa (our school doesn’t weight) for engineering
@dadknowsbest Agreed. The longer my DS has waited for a decision, the more frustrated he’s getting. OSU was his #1 choice, but this unknown wait is making his second choice (which had a pre-announced decision release date) look better and better with each passing day.
I’m anxiously waiting for anyone to post any good news! I guess not today, right ? Did anyone receive any updates ?
anybody hear anything???
My son sent his in on September 4th as well, rolling admission, but he didn’t hear until December 13th. Good luck to everyone waiting… its no fun!
Ohio State admits tens of thousands of students each year. No way is it going to be efficient. It is the trade off for being one of the premier state flagship universities, as well as one of the largest.
That really doesn’t make sense. They receive approximately the same number of applications as other large schools. Those other schools set specific dates and manage to those dates instead of torturing the kids with the drip. The university has the approximate amount of annual applicants as students…I would never accept them to be inefficient with their students…
I don’t think my son would mind waiting, as long as he knew when he’d get a decision, instead of hitting refresh on his app status page every 10 minutes multiple Fridays.
no news here…
Any news?
nope
no updates here ¯_(--)/¯
Anyone hearing???
Nothing here. See y’all next Friday then, same bat time, same bat channel. 
My family doesn’t mind waiting for a published date; we’re waiting patiently for a few schools with published dates at the end of this month, February, and even March. It’s the multiple Friday refresh refresh and the school’s unwillingness to even tell people which Fridays they’re releasing responses. Other large institutions manage very nicely with one published date or even transparently providing a few dates. It makes such a difference in managing the anxiety. My daughter applied to only large state universities and the experience with OSU has been unique. I wish they would read this board and think about the feedback.
@Pelorider I remember UMass being bad last year too. Is it any better this year?
When my DD applied last year, it seems that the acceptances came in waves. One in November, 2 in December (one mid and one end of the month), and 2 in January (one mid and one end of the month).
No.
It hasn’t hurt applications and they still fill every slot, so from their perspective, they can just keep doing whatever they want!
it would just be nice to know. My daughter is getting invited to apply for scholarship programs at the schools she has already gotten into which require supplements. OHIO is her first choice though and wants to go there and we are in a flux because to take the time to write supps for schools she is not as interested in is daunting
