Yes.
My portal said "decision," then I got the the timeline email, and finally the rejection email within the last couple hours.
I'd say "pending" at this point is good.

Yeah, I got the email and a "pending" portal.
I just told my mom the details (thank you for that info @Jess Monster !) and I think she is a bit too excited at the no-news-is-good-news idea. lol
Just got an interview invite!!!! Yesssssssss
Yes, let's! I'm opting for the 21st since that's the only date that really works between my Auburn and Kansas dates.
OMGGGGGGG I got an interview at my dream school.
I think I'm in shock.
I'm OOS interviewing the 6th😍

Congrats on your invite!! I haven't receive an invite by e-mail, but im still pending on the portal. Im seeing that a lot of people that where pending on the portal received invitations, so im gonna keep myself hopeful
Y'all will give me a heart attack 
I don't have any new emails so I went and rechecked...still pending. Think I'll hold off on checking until after finals (or if I happen to get that lovely email...)

All signed up for January 4th, but unfortunately won't be able to make it to the dinner the evening before.
I look forward to hopefully meeting some of you!

No. The date you choose doesn't impact your chances. Unless you're a shoe in and get accepted right after your interview (rare), you won't hear anything until after all interviews are over, regardless of what day you choose. They'll add your subjective score (interview) to your objective score and then rank you along with everyone else to make their decisions. The interviewers also change from day to day. In previous years they have had faculty, students, employees, and alumni taking part so you aren't getting interview position biases.
Got an OOS invite, will be there on the 5th.
I surprised you got a Davis interview but not an Ohio interview. Hope that your return trip is less exciting than the one going to CA

OSU had a history of sending invites out in waves, so I wouldn't fret. Yes, I got both emails!
Just got an invite as well
Looking forward to it (but not the cold weather 😛)
LOL are you from some place sunny and warm?
Congrats to everyone getting interview invites. If I'm not mistaken your portal will say pending until the final decision. So if you got an invite it'll still say pending until after they interview everyone and send out final decisions. So pending is good. To those that didn't get one this year, don't fret! I didn't get an interview my first try! If it's your dream it's achievable. I def recommend the OSU file review.

Haha you were right!!!
THANKSSSS
Yay! What day are you interviewing?Also got the invite this late afternoon at work.
Yup, from The Sunshine State LOL
Having four seasons is where it's at, trust me haha
Having only two is better
Given that you are a one year veteran at OSU, can you recommend any good (and close by) hotels to stay? Also, I definitely don't want to drive in Columbus in January, what are the transportation options to/from airport/hotel/campus? Any advice is much appreciated.
Im not sure on hotels because I lived in the area. But if you wanted to save money OSU had the vet stay program that a current student lets you stay at their place the night before your interview. And then you can pick their brain with any questions you have, they can also show you more of the area. The students are not required to give you transportation to your interview, but I bet some wouldn't mind. Worst comes to worst most students live close and you could probably walk if need be. But it will most likely be freezing. So I would use uber or lyft if you didn't have a car. There is the COTA bus also that you could look into. If you are worried about the weather and driving, it's really not bad unless it just stormed. Ohio is pretty use to their snow and roads are taken care of quickly, especially busier areas like campus and interstates.

This is where you are wrong. Love my four!
how about just one season? that better!! <3
NO. Life without autumn...how could you even?
Denial isn't just a mountain in Ukraine. You're welcome to change your mind and join the winning team
yeah I know, I love autumn, but here in Puerto Rico we just get one season all year round
LOL. Never. I'll survive winter and all my snow just to watch the trees change colors over the hills. End of October is so worth it. (Except maybe when my car is snowed in for like five days and I didn't buy groceries😉
Oh your from Puerto Rico! That's super cool and definitely lacking in the four seasons department lol

Pretty sure that's how the Donner Party happened
That's a fairly accurate comparison
Yeah I'm a nontraditional applicant so I have extremely high science GPA and last 45 but low cumulative. I think that's what knocked me out.
Towards the bottom of the link sent to you with your invite, there's a list of hotels that are close by that will give you a special rate if you tell them your with OSU.
And for what it's worth, I've stayed at that Hilton Garden on their list and I thought it was perfectly nice. There's actually a few hotels in that general area that aren't on the list and I'd say they are like 6 minutes from the CVM.

I'm interviewing the 21st in the morning. And I'll also be going to the dinner and luncheon! I think I should start booking flights meow. I have yet to hear from UPenn... Not sure how that's going to go (it's a total shot in the dark). And their interviews are on Fridays starting early January. Right now I pretty much have every weekend in Jan booked, hahahahaha. Soooooooooo. I'm not sure how these flights are going to work.
