son applied to business school ea. is it possible to get accepted to OSU but NOT to Fisher business school? Or, if they dont accept him to Fisher, is it just a rejection?

I know you apply directly.

You might simply email your question to these folks to get an exact answer.

Good luck

Even though you applied for Fisher, the first decision is an admission (or not) to Ohio State. Then, Fisher direct admission is considered.

If you are accepted to OSU, but not Fisher, there are pathways to ultimately get there. I don’t know how competitive they are though, your student can reach out to their AO and ask. Admissions counselors | Counselors and Advisors | The Ohio State University

Yes, but then we saw this:

thanks for your reply.

If your student still has questions, have them contact their AO at the link I provided above.

In the past, it was definitely that you could be placed in the university, if not into Fisher.

But this year it doesn’t say that.

Hence, I gave the email address a few messages earlier.

Perhaps the process has changed.

So best to hear from the school.
