Scholarships at OSU always come out in the February/March time frame. They’ve done that for a while, so no one needs to get to worked up about aid or admissions. Just relax and try your best to stand the waiting, it’ll be over before you know it!

Also, do we receive an email with a status update, or should we just keep checking the portal tomorrow?
Just keep checking the portal! I was admitted first wave and I didn’t receive an email until the day after.
Eventually you get an email that looks like it came from a Commodore 64 from 1982 that gives you directions on setting up your Buckeyelink account, email, etc. A package with your acceptance letter and some other info shows up in the mail about a week later.

Am I allowed to visit OSU without a tour or is the campus closed?
Yes, you are able to walk around the campus
No way they can lock down campus. Might want to call and check so you don’t have any issues.
Thanks for the info on scholarships coming out Feb/March; every school is different, so I like knowing I’m not missing out on some crucial information.
Campus isn’t closed and some live classes are actually being held…probably no tours but you can self tour

Everyone’s scholarship universe is now locked right?
Still not.
Oh wow. The question about which campus you are attending isn’t locked? Are you in state?
all of mine are locked. i’m OOS.
The question asking which college I am admitted to is locked but not the campus one. I am in state.
only thing worrying me is just my stats aren’t really where they should be to get in 
May I ask what they are?
OOS, 3.1 uw, 1 AP, really good essays and extra cirriculars, pretty good recs, test optional
There’s only 1 person I’ve heard of that says there’s are unlocked and that is Shawn. I’d say we can assume the locks mean nothing or else their acceptance rate would be near 100% if the locks indicated acceptance. Plus with my stats I’m very unlikely to be admitted (28 ACT, essentially no ECs.)
