Sorry guys 🙁 But its ok, remember, a letter of intent goes a longgggg way if you really want to attend here!
 
interviewed yesterday...this school rocks. the facilities, people, etc are awesome. students are happy, what more could you ask for?

but...the actual interview was the most odd of all the interviews ive been one. had two faculty at the same time and while one was nice and said it would be conversational, i ended up just being grilled by the other interviewer with question after question about pretty much every standard/nonstandard interview question out there 😵

kinda hard to judge what they thought

glad you liked the school...in terms of interview I had the exact same situation, and it turned out fine so don't worry about it
 
It takes 10 business days of the interview for the final decision -- my intervies is Dec 9 -- 10th business day is Dec 23. I am pretty sure the offices are closed then.
Anyone know, what dates are the offices closed for christmas/new year?

I looked up last year's too, and there was one guy who was deferred and then accepted in December, apparently.:xf:

I interviewed at OSU in September and was deferred as well, but the two student hosts I stayed with were both accepted from the deferred list in early December. They said it was not uncommon so I think (I hope) there's still a shot for us deferree's.

Yeah, for sure. I think I remember my student host saying similar things about deferred list. I'm pretty fortunate I am deferred and not rejected, let's hope things turn out right.:luck:

Interesting. I had faculty interviewer and a student interviewer, and both were extremely nice. No grilling.
 
i def got grilled hardcore by a surgeon...
 
I'm in too, looks like I'll be a Buckeye next year! It'll take a while getting used to the red, but I'll have to, BYU blue might be mistaken for that other blue school.
 
deferred as well 🙁 Gonna work on that letter of intent. Mann this stinks

any tips on how i should deliver it? i know PDF if im emailing. should i do it via snail mail?

Haha doubt it, they are maize and blue. Plus tons of BYU students here

ps congrats!
 
The deferred list is difficult to generalize because its different from year to year. Last year, very few deferred students were accepted than average because more students matriculated than the OSU admissions office believed would. But, there is still hope.

Last year, I was deferred after interviewing in mid-October and I sent at least three update letters, hearing nothing until mid-May from the admissions office that basically told me to keep waiting. Thankfully, I received a phone call in early July accepting me, so there is still a chance for those on the deferred list, but there is no telling when you will get in, if at all.

In any case, best of luck to you all in the application process.

This is like my worst nightmare.
 
For anyone who is interested, I finally got my OSU e-mail set up, but I had to contact IT and ask them to fix it. So if you're having problems, send them an e-mail. The admissions office can't help you with that.

Is the e-mail account supposed to come with the acceptance letter? I received the letter but no e-mail account.😕

Hmmm, if I can have Jim Tressel give Dr. Capers a call on behalf of me... I wonder how I should do that.🙄

What do you mean? The only email you should get is one that says "Yo, check your status, there be changes." Mine came a couple hours after my status had changed.

A few people earlier in the thread said that they already received their osu e-mail account.. you know 'student@osu' e-mail. That's what I'm wondering about because it didn't come with my admissions packet.
 
Interviewed here yesterday. Wasn't sure what to expect going in, but I was extremely impressed! I can definitely see myself going to THE OSU 😍
 
Interview invite today!! Already interviewing for March spots yikes! OOS Complete 9/3
 
So I just received an interview invite, so excited!! I'm just a little worried that it's in March, will there be any spots left at that point? 🙁 It doesn't matter a whole lot since I will definitely still come to my interview even if it's for a waitlist spot, but does anyone have any info about this based on past application cycles? Also, I wanted to visit some family in Ohio over the winter break which for me is about a month from the 3rd week of Dec through the 3rd week of January. Do you think if I let them know about this they would be open to moving my interview date if an opening became available so I wouldn't have to make two trips? Thank you!

They probably won't change your date. I inquired about this, and they said they can't move your date earlier, because they are all booked. But you can change your date to later.
 
mirror lake jump baby!!!! Beat M!CHIG@N!

🙁 we could not pull it out against tar holes...doubly hurt cuz i'm a Dukie

OSU has no frontcourt whatsoever. Until they fix that, they can't expect to beat teams like the Tar Heels. Lauderdale is decent on defense but his only way of scoring on offense is by dunking the ball. Kyle Madsen was completely overmatched out there. Sadly, Evan Turner is their best post player....

i actually went to HS w/ lauderdale. every friday...some great games. and the playoff run we had was great until we ran until raymar morgan and canton mckinley.

i don't know if this is too indicative of the entire season to come (and it's so early). i feel like the strength of UNC IS their front court w/ davis and zeller...not too many teams have so many legitimate big men who clearly will go pro (well maybe not clear w/ zeller) at some point.
 
But Evan Turner is amazing, no doubt. I think he's probably one of the best NBA prospects right now in college basketball. I wouldn't be surprised if he became a lottery pick come next year's draft.

You can always ask. I was scheduled for 2/1/10, but I just decided to call this past Wed. to see if anything was open. They gave me a spot for 11/23 and the receptionist said that they have a bunch of spots open in January.

Yeah those McKinley teams with Raymar Morgan were absolutely stacked. Three straight final fours and two back to back state championships. Unbelievable. We played them both my junior and senior years of high school. We hung with them my junior year but got ran off the court my senior year.
 
Poor Michigan, no bowl game for them. Feel sorry.
