This is the official discussion thread for Ohio State Class of 2029 RD applicants. Ask your questions and connect with fellow applicants.
Anyone here? My son applied on 12/29 so late in the game, not sure when to expect any news.
Is anyone doing portal astrology this round? EA had the email updates.
Haven’t had much luck with portal astrology this year! Last year there were a ton of tells. If anyone sees any changes or tells please share. Otherwise good luck to all on Friday!
Resurfacing the portal astrology topic given that decisions will be posted tomorrow… For EA decisions, the one big tell was that admitted students had two email addresses listed in their contacts section (a personal and an osu/buckeye email address) listed in their contact details in the portal. Anyone waiting for their decision see an osu email address ?
Not seeing any changes so far. I think for EA, the emails updated the morning of decisions.

You might be right. I couldn’t remember the exact timing, within 24 hours for sure though. Just putting this out there so we can crowd source portal astrology from the masses waiting. This was an absolute tell for sure, but it might be tomorrow AM.
Just want to let you know that my son did not have the two email thing, but he was accepted EA. So if you don’t have them, don’t worry too much. He eventually got the two emails, but it was the day after acceptances went out.

It was late in the evening for EA and the site kept crashing so some people couldn’t get in until later.
So far no changes in portal for S25… taking this as a bad sign. It would be his only target school rejection or waitlist. 
Just got admitted RD for Engineering (Pre-Mechanical), no email thing until the decision was released.

DS25 status still shows as in review. Only his personal email is in contacts, no buckeye email address. Applied OOS.
It goes out in batches until around 5-6 PM EST I think, based on EA. My e-mail still doesn’t show up under Identity Details so I don’t think it means much.

Accepted OOS Biomedical Engineering. No email was sent.

my guess is that they released just engineering possibly.
My OOS arts & sciences major had her acceptance this afternoon, too. More than just engineering

Do we think only admits are going out first? I haven’t seen any mentions of waitlisting or rejections (yet) today.
No, already heard someone got rejected.
