Well, OSU was my first choice. However, I have great offers at comparable schools, which is why today was shocking. I was hoping that OSU would match their competitors but now I think I am going to have to consider the other offers. OSU offered the exact program I wanted and they are like the only one who has it. I was convinced that I had the Buckeye scholarship but unfortunately they left me cold turkey. Just the worst news, but I will move onto another school.
Did your OOS OSU Sophomore receive any grants or just the Buckeye?
we didnât just the loan. It was what I expected
I would absolutely do the same if this was my first child. The only reason weâre still considering OSU is so my kids can be togetherâŠ

@OSU95 yes my sophomore received Buckeye plus provost âŠ
Its a desirable state school, there are people willing to pay full cost. Very similar at many of the flagship state schools, expecially big 10 schools. I think they are worth the cost, but not sure we are willing or able, but I have no concern, someone behind my daughter is willing and able.
Wow - was there a big difference in their stats? I would have expected some sort of aid for having 2 kids at the same college.
Daughter #2 had higher GPA than daughter #1! But we did not submit SAT score, and I think that really hurt
Oh, that mightâve been it. I did not submit scores out of fear. However, my GPA is 100.235/100, 11 Dual Enrollments, 9 APs, etc. I would pay the full out-of-state price if I wasnât a brother of a student going to college in two years. Additionally, I am going for 7 years for Pharmacy which adds up (46,000 x 7 is just too much). I think admissions this year were incredibly competitive but I donât know why that means our class has to suffer the consequences. I honestly donât know how my stats couldâve been higher, I was top 2% of my class, etc. I really wish this wasnât the final decision, just feels wrong 
@Alexmcq8 - Your stats are tremendous. What a shame to not be rewarded for all your hard work. I agree - it feels wrong!

Iâm sure they wonât admit it but I imagine they passed over people they thought were using OSU as a safety because their stats were so high.

You are all very sweet. I appreciate your kind words. I never realized how unpredictable this process is but thankfully we are all not alone through it. I wish you all the best of luck on your college search.

Crazy that they sent a post card telling your package would be coming soon and it was only loan information-no merit!
Itâs okay. We were hoping for a little something, but at the end of the day my son will end up exactly where he is meant to be. Fortunately he does have other options.

Iâm curious if after admission the portal changes to the Duo? I have been unable to get into mine and I think it automatically switchedâŠis that right?
