I understand that scholars determinations are made on a rolling basis and we should hear something before April

We got a letter in the mail today. National Buckeye ($13.5K/y) plus Maximus ($3K/y). NY suburb, 1500 SAT, ~3.8 UW, 11 AP’s, decent EC’s. Very happy with our results but still waiting for a couple of deferred options (UW-Mad, UMich) and RD schools.

Does anyone know if morrill scholarship notifications have gone out? From what I understand this is done on a rolling basis?
I understand that University Honors Program decisions are made on a rolling basis - has anyone heard yet? Thanks!
Stellalune posted above that her child was accepted back on the 29th (I believe). We received an email that same day about scholars but have received no indication yet of rejection from honors/acceptance to scholars.

Yeah, she received an email with the subject line, “Welcome to the Ohio State
University Honors Program.” I don’t think anything was was in her portal – just FYI

I could be mistaken, but during the application, the student had to indicate interest in the honors program OR scholars program, I think. So whichever your student indicated is what they would be considered for? That email seems like the school has started the review of your child for scholars though - good luck!
My in-state kiddo got into a scholars program and was notified about 10 days after sending in ranked preferences. I also believe it is rolling through April. Good luck! It seems like a great opportunity!

Here is what we’ve learned so far! Housing applications go out on a rolling basis starting mid-march according in order of the date students accept their offer of admission. On housing application, students select either North campus, south campus, or West Campus. They don’t get to pick their specific dorm, just area of campus. If your student is in Fisher, then North campus will be closest to Fisher. North campus has (mostly) newer dorms and has a reputation of being a bit calmer/more academic. South campus has mostly older dorms (some with air conditioning, some without) but it has a reputation for being social/fun, especially for freshman. West campus has only two dorms, the Towers, which are older. They’ll get their housing assignments in the summer. If your student wants a particular area of campus, look into scholars programs or living learning communities, which are attached to specific dorms. My son was accepted to a scholars program, so he knows which specific dorm on North Campus he will live in freshman year. For sophomore year, everyone has to live on campus again (I believe a greek house counts and I think scholars can either live where they did freshman year or choose a different dorm), and that housing goes by a lottery number. So earlier lottery numbers have a better chance of getting their request than later lottery numbers for sophomore year selection. I haven’t heard too much about mold (not as much as the southern schools, but we plan to get an air purifier regardless 
Hope that helps!

Congratulations which program and was it their first choice?
My In State daughter found out within a week of her acceptance, and then got into her first choice, Mount Leadership, about a week later. Good Luck!

It seems to be rolling through March. My daughter was just notified of her admission to Honors Program last night (pretty late! Email came at 8:19pm and we are on the West coast). Fingers crossed for you.
