<p>Since the official data won’t be released until next week, I will just use last year’s total applicants which was around 30,000 + 10% = roughly 33,000 this year. With this year’s accepted students of 16,469, the admission rate should be at around 50% (49.9% to be exact based on the calculation). </p>

<p>He has done it again!! President Gee has made tOSU one of the most academically desired colleges in the nation, recent applicants are flocking in from all four corners of the country (California, Texas, New York & Michigan) including the neighboring States (Pennsylvania, Illinois, Maryland & Virginia) as well as overseas. With ‘Common App’ next year, I predict an approximately another 25% increase (Thanks to the fact that Ohio State is truly the most bang for your buck in terms of affordability & educational quality imho), the acceptance rate will continue to drop down to the mid-to-low 40s, even if the enrollment were to increase by 10%.</p>
