Ohio State Class of 2025 Official Thread

I’m sorry I’m so confused forgive me for being clueless. I just have a regular portal with an admissions status tab. So if we’re not applying for scholarships/aid then we don’t have all these pencils & locks & buckeye mail?. TIA

Everyone can log into ScholarshipUniverse (Apply for scholarships) | buckeyelink and see.

Portal where you applied to scholars? Do you have a link? I thought that was in the Common App.

Is it in Buckeyelink somewhere? I’m trying to figure this out before I get locked out.

Just wait, 17 hours to go and we’ll know.
Relax, chaps, grab a cup of coffee, watch some good movies, have a nice night of sleep and we’ll know soon

So if your scholarship universe says Columbus campus for the admitted/attending question, that doesn’t mean anything right?

Nobody knows, is yours locked?

no. i didn’t even know what scholarship universe was until 5 min ago so I’ve been trying to catch up with what everyone’s saying lol.

is there a lock sign or a pencil next to it?

i’m in state and I find it weird that everyone keeps saying “deferred or denied” but I haven’t heard of OSU doing that for in state students, they just send them to an alternate campus which is why i’m focused on that campus question

it’s a pencil

In state people like you and I can be deferred; and denied for us does mean a regional campus.

@dragonflies1 I’ve heard that people received an email. No word here, so I was wondering if that was a rejection.

I’ve heard the same but I asked and that’s what they said. Maybe they are waiting for OOS or maybe until all the EA decisions come out. I would be shocked with my stats if I didn’t get any of these not that it matters. But they may have already dropped me from system but I still have access to the portal.

ok that makes sense. I never really thought about getting into an alternative campus as being “denied” because you can transfer to main campus the next year

Anyone know how Ohio State feels about Out of state applicants who aren’t applying for any aid (full pay)? Do they get an admissions bump?

Well they aren’t need blind but they don’t give out much need based aid that I know of. Certainly possible though.

I’m hearing some talk of EA decisions possibly coming out tomorrow, can anyone confirm?

On their website it states that the final EA decisions would be released on January 29.
