[JuliaMom1]

If anyone gets the email saying to change your email can you please post?

I hope it doesn’t because I don’t, but it’s required to set up Buckeyemail and I’m a bit worried consequently

Probably shows up at different times for everybody

The 2nd EA decisions come out this week, so I thought it might be helpful to recap what happend the first time.

Early in the day (morning and some early afternoon): Some applicants got an email to set up their new Ohio State emails. All of these people went on to be accepted.

Mid Afternoon: Rejections rolled out early. No acceptances in this round.

8-9pm eastern or so: In the todo list section, a request for final transcript appeared. All of these students were accepted and all got the email earlier in the day.

9-10pm eastern or so: Acceptances started to roll out on portals.

This is how it was back in December, but it could change. Just an FYI for you all. Good luck!

I’m bumping this back down to be a reminder going in to tomorrow. Getting the Buckeye set up email is a good sign (if like last time, you will get in), but these do roll out till early afternoon, so if you don’t have yet, it is ok for now.

There’s also set up for duo mobile (two factor verification)

How important are ACT scores to OSU? I have a pretty well-rounded application, I’m just horrible with test-taking so I don’t have a super high ACT score. I’m wondering if I still have a chance?

My daughter was test optional and was accepted on 12/8. If you have a strong well-rounded app like you say, keep your hopes up! Good luck tomorrow!

I just want to add that for the December 8th decisions it was a very slow and inconsistent rollout. My daughter was accepted. However, she did not get the email to create a BuckeyeMail account as others did that morning. Her portal did change to show Final Transcripts due, but not until close to midnight and we are pacific time, so middle of the night ET. It wasn’t until mid-morning the next day (again PT) that the portal showed the status change to accepted, and the email to set up BuckeyeMail came after that sometime over the weekend. It is true that everyone in this forum, who was rejected began reporting those decisions first, then the deferrals, then the acceptances. Good luck to everyone tomorrow, and have patience. You may not find out your results until Saturday. GO BUCKS!

Good luck, everyone!!

Remember to post if you receive an email saying to set up Ohio State email address. That was the big clue last time around. So far, no email here

[L_Boogie]

My DD didn’t get the email about setting up the Buckeye email until 8pm so don’t lose hope. Good Luck everyone!

[JuliaMom1]

This board is oddly quiet!

[kelseaw1]

has anyone received an email yet this morning??

[NY_Mom10]

nope

[chicagolandmom]

I know! Did everyone on here hear in December?!

No e-mail yet either.

[JohnGander]

No email yet

[OOS_Mama]

Are we sure the decisions come out today? So quiet!

[Beth4]

They won’t start until around 3:30, usually with deferrals. Last year the acceptances started at around 5 pm and went thru 10 pm

[OOS_Mama]

In December people started to see changes in the portal, get emails to set up their school email, etc. That is what I was referring to…

[Beth4]

You asked if we were sure decisions were coming out today…?
