It shocks me to see he has been deferred when I know people that applied in December with 26 acts and 3.5 gpas get accepted weeks later. I feel like applying early may have been the problem. You can always email an admissions counselor and ask why. When I was denied that is what I did and they told me I was competitive enough gpa wise with others from my school and my gpa and act didnt have a strong correlation I had a 27 act and 3.7 gpa. But I alway heard it was easier to get in by applying undecided than something competitive like engineering. But if he is eventually accepted he will have time to still sign a housing contract which is due may 1st. And dorms at osu are plentiful so i dont think youll have much of a problem. And from looking at the past deferences on the website from the years before most are accepted between mid feb and march! I hope your son has better luck getting accepted than I did but then again I think with a 32 act it would be very surprising to see him get denied admission from main campus!
