Has anyone who is OOS heard back about Scholars Program acceptances? Tks.
Also OOS and anxiously awaiting scholars decision. 
We are OOS and my student received an update (via email) on February 16. She submitted her scholarship preferences on January 31. Hopefully you’ll hear back soon!!

Congrats to your child on the scholars program! That is awesome! Which scholars did she choose, and did she get her first choice (hopefully)? Thanks! Nice to hear they are rolling out!
Thank you so much! Her top choice was Advocates for Communities and Education Scholars Program and that is what she received. She very much is hoping to get selected as a Morrill Scholar. We have a 3rd year at Ohio State and he is living his best life. While Ohio State was not initially a top contender for our youngest, it is quickly becoming one of the favorites.

We are coming in from OOS Tuesday to Thursday to tour the campus (on our own) and see the area. Anywhere we should go specifically to get a good feel for the school, community, and culture of the school?
We are from coming from a LARGE urban and diverse city, for context. Our daughter is a psy major and she loves music and art and math loves being outside.
S26 & I attended a great Admitted Students Day on Sat Mar 7 and explored on our own on Sun.
- Univ Level Welcome Info session at Ohio Union
- College Level (Fisher for us) detailed Session including Student panel of Fisher Ambassadors
- Breakout Session: Campus Tour by a student guide (rained out half way)
- Lunch at North Campus Dining Hall
- Breakout Session: Residential tour of South Campus Dorm and student panel
- Breakout Session: In-depth tour of Fisher buildings by 3rd yr Fisher student and UG admission counselors to answer Qs
We capped off by attending Buckeyes vs Hoosiers Basketball sold out (18K) game at Schott center with a current student we knew. Took sunny Sunday to explore more of the Campus with a different Senior, Short North, Columbus Riverwalk, Ohio StateHouse in Downtown with Arnold event going on. Also ran into NHL players (LA Kings) at the Hilton. Amazing experience for someone visiting from OOS. Surely made Fisher as the one to beat for S26.
PS: For future attendees, most breakout sessions were available to switch to during event day as not all registrants show up.

We’re still waiting to hear from business scholars. Has anyone heard for this particular program?
Same:) OOS. I haven’t seen many OOS people reporting business scholars’ acceptances.
My son was just accepted to the Business Scholars program!

Same! We are NY too:) He got it late last night. He will need to do more research on the program tonight. I like the idea of the residential portion with business scholars, but this wording sounds like you may or may not have scholars’ housing. “You are required to live with your Scholars community in Blackburn House. Due to building or space restrictions, program demand, and density requirements, you may be assigned to an alternative space for your Scholars community as plans for Autumn finalize”. Does anyone on here have experience with scholars, and how did they enjoy it?
Did your kid commit? We’re still waiting on business scholars!!
We are finishing up the last of college visits and hopefully will have a final decision next week!! Did your child commit yet? I would have him write a letter to business scholars to express his interest while inquiring about his status:)
S26 is down to last 2 choices OhioState Fisher vs Fordham Gabelli.
OSU LLC housing Application is due Apr 15 while May 1 is deadline for SiR.
Does one have to first commit to OhioState before applying for LLC housing?
He was also waiting for Business Scholars before applying to a specific LLC.

I’m not completely sure to be honest.
I think you do have to commit first because you can’t apply for housing until you commit and the LLC application was after the housing application
Yes, he visited a few weeks ago and loved it. Still waiting on scholars…called on Friday and they said a decision was made but they couldn’t tell us over the phone and we had to wait for the email sometime this week.
