Acceptance call? Because I got a missed call from a 614 number today and freaked out because it might be OSU but then remember I haven't even interviews yet

It's such a jarring experience dreaming about getting an acceptance to a school. It's so emotionally charged that when you wake up, there's a void and a nagging feeling that the dream might've been true. God damn brain with its crazy tricks and tomfoolery.

Arent acceptances on Tuesdays?
Deferred :/
Sigh, this process is brutal

Was also deferred. Sucks but it's not a waitlist or rejection so at least you weren't written off yet!
I was recently accepted and wondering if any current OSU students can comment on living at home? My parents live about 20-25ish minutes from campus and I was wondering if this was a good option or if I should look for on-campus housing? Thank you!
I know of people that have been straight up rejected post-interview
I wonder how many students are deferred vs straight up rejected.
To be honest I only know of two people and one of them told his interviewer that he was "looking at better schools and would probably go there"

Wow... did the interviewer ask him about what other schools he was applying to? I can't believe that someone would just straight up say that without any prompting. I got asked this question in a very strange way at another school. "If you could go to any medical school except insert name of school here which would it be?" I answered honestly, and it probably cost me 😛.
He said he was asked why he wanted to go here and he responded "I don't really, this is more of a backup" but yeah this is the only person I've heard of responding like this lol
Jeez, I get that he may have felt that way. But to say it out loud in an interview ha ha. Well I am sure he got in somewhere else anyway.
Yeah this kid interviewed at a bunch of top 20 schools so here's to hoping he didn't say the same there lol
Has anyone received an interview invitation this week or is OSU done sending them out?
OMG this person literally disrespected all of us that are DYING for an interview at OSU. He had some gall for sure
Does anyone know the best way to find roommates at OSU? I'm OOS and don't want to live alone!
Sorry, I have a lot of questions, but are we meant to just get a hotel if we're going to the second look weekend?
On the FB for accepted students there's a spreadsheet with people looking for roomies
+1 I just said I was coming to both days. I don't need hosting but otherwise idk what I would've done. Maybe call
Withdrew post-acceptance today. Good luck to all those waiting on decisions!

Congrats! When were you complete? And IS or OOS?
Yeah, but it just seems kind of awkward right now and only about 20 people have filled out the excel sheet.
Really disappointed with OSU. IS applicant, complete 7/27 and have had absolute silence since then.
Ditto (except out of state and completed 7/7)!!!

How many people typically attend Second Look? Does everyone go? I really want to go, but the end of my semester is kinda crazy.
I got an interview invite on Tuesday. My interview is on next Wednesday. I am OOS but currently live in Ohio.
I was complete in September and just got an invite this week. Maybe there is still hope
A fair number of people will go, but it's pretty variable from year to year. It could be anywhere from 50-100 people. But not every single person who is accepted goes. It's nice to attend and feel out the class more/meet possible roommates/enjoy being wined and dined, but it's far from mandatory.
I'm trying to figure this out too. Last year orientation started on August 1st, so I'm guessing it's going to be more or less the same again this year. We don't need to be all settled in Columbus any earlier than orientation, do we? That's the first event we need to be present for, yes?

I haven't heard anything yet, although they said they would review deferred applicants every two weeks. I think there have been a couple posts about people moving off the deferred list, but I'm not sure. After sitting on the list for so long, I'm not too hopeful but you never know I guess.
Yeah not feeling to great about my chances either.
They did mention that ~30-40 people usually get acceptances after the April 30th deadline so there's still hope!
Hey, how did you respond to that text lol? You think just a well-written "thank you" is all that's necessary?
