Ohio State Class of 2026 Admission

Stop it. My son had his app in before Nov 1. This is crap.

Not sure what their process is! :woman_shrugging:t5:

If how OSU handled the admissions process, particularly for the EA kids who got deferred after the 2nd EA deadline, is an indication of how they run their school, then I’m not sure I’d send my son there anyway. No transparency. No communication. Chaos. My son has lots of other great choices!

My application status was changed from deferred to ā€œevaluationā€ around 1pm today. Anyone else?

Still says deferred

Same here

I hear you, girl! Mine applied 10/1! We’ve already put the hundred dollars down with zero money offered. This was our last bit of hope. And my daughter already knows people who got it long ago. When I called to ask, they just said you will get an acceptance or rejection as soon as we review your application. However, I have not heard of one person getting a rejection letter yet. Which says to me, they all come at one time. I mean she also heard from the scholars program like two months ago at this point.

Got the decision.

Denied. I got deferred on 01/25.

Finally got acceptance a couple of hours ago after January deferral.

Congratulations!!! Is she considering going?? My son is on his Disney trip, so I don’t want to bother him about his portal. But obviously I want to know after this inordinate amount of time waiting…

She IS considering, but it’s hard to bring back that excitement she had two months ago. I’m going to try to convince her to do an admitted students weekend to get a real feel for it. We visited in the Fall, but just went to a football game (which was amazing). Good luck to your son. Let me know how it goes!

My daughter was just waitlisted. She was one of the ā€œlateā€ deferrals in January. This wasn’t even listed as an option on the admissions page, so didn’t even know it was a possibility. It seems OSU is just making stuff up as they go along this year. She was prepared for a ā€œyes or noā€ but not that. Fortunately, that made her realize she has better options and she committed elsewhere tonight. I wish you all the best of luck and hope that those of you that get in and commit have better luck regarding transparency and communication from OSU!
OOS
3.98 UW gpa

Mine is also one of the mysterious ā€œlateā€ deferrals, and also waitlisted. I wonder if anyone from that group (EA applicants that did not hear on the scheduled date, then were all simultaneously deferred several days later) was accepted.

We were in that group, and believe me, we had lost all confidence, but were accepted today. I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you. It was very stressful to say the least.

Good luck to everyone! My DD22 was accepted in December. We’re in state and she was given no merit and no honors program at OSU. We put the deposit in at Miami where they gave her a nice merit scholarship plus honors college. Not sure what’s up with OSU this year but there’s no way we’re paying more for OSU over Miami.
