Ohio State Class of 2026 Admission

Oops

"Congratulations on your recent acceptance to The Ohio State University College of Engineering Honors program! As an Honors student in the College of Engineering, you have the opportunity to apply for the Integrated Business and Engineering (IBE) Honors program.

IBE is an Honors program strategically designed by the College of Engineering and Fisher College of Business to provide a select group of students the opportunity to supplement their engineering degree with a broader education sought today by many industries. The program is structured to develop your ability to communicate across business and technical domains, create a sense of business acumen, and experience a multidisciplinary approach to open-ended problem solving—similar to that required in most companies. You will engage with students of different disciplines, interface with industry partners, work on real-world product development projects, and create a sense of entrepreneurial thinking while developing a range of teamwork, communication, and other professional skills.

Engineering students participating in the program supplement their engineering curriculum with a general business minor as well as IBE cohort courses and upon completion of the program receive an IBE Honors distinction on their diploma."

"I am reaching out to you today about a message you received encouraging you to apply to the Integrated Business and Engineering Honors program. Unfortunately, there was a glitch in the system and you accidently received the message. This email was about an additional application for students admitted into the honors program. We apologize for any inconvenience and are quickly rectifying the situation. Any additional questions can be sent to [xxxx]

We wanted to provide opportunities for all engineering students. "

Hi, I’m an international student. Got an email from ā€œaskabuckeye@osu.eduā€ this morning claiming that I’ve been admitted to the Columbus campus. Considering the RD announcement date was expected to be in ā€˜Late March’, I’m not sure if this is legitimate. Again, as an international student, I don’t know if fake acceptance emails are a thing in the US. If anyone could help me confirm that the email is the real deal, I’d appreciate it. Thanks.

If you lookup ā€œOhio State Application Statusā€ on Google and click ā€œLaunch Applicant Centerā€ and login, you should see a button that says ā€œApplication Statusā€. If you click on it, it should then say ā€œAcceptanceā€.

Ah yes. It says ā€œAcceptanceā€ under ā€œStatusā€. There’s also an ā€œAccept/Declineā€ option now. Guess I made it then. Thank you.

Same to you!

Yes, he also received that correction email soon after. Oops! No Engineering Honors.

Thanks for all the information on this thread. May need to start looking at housing at some point. OOS regular admit on Thursday. Feel very fortunate. Does anyone know when and how they indicate that either you did or did not get into honors and is it sent on the same day as the RD acceptance email? If so, looks like no honors, but not sure. Best of luck to all. Thank you.

Any word on when merit/financial aid offers will be out?

I called and they said it’s on a rolling basis! It’s already started.

When is the latest we’ll hear?

I don’t know. All I know is when I called, they said if you get your financial aid package and it doesn’t have a scholarship on it, then most likely you won’t be getting it. We feel like we have been waiting forever! It’s literally the only school so far that my kid has gotten into, that she hasn’t heard about any scholarship whatsoever yet.

Ok, my D22 hasn’t received any package yet! The only thing she knows is that she’s been accepted, and she’s been accepted to the honors program. She wants to make her decision soon, but is holding out to see what OSU gives her. Frustrating!

We are in the exact same boat. I’m hoping they give her something.
