Current students - Could you talk about the area a bit? I'm not a city person at all and while I LOVE the school I'm a bit concerned about being in a city for four years. Are there trees, dirt trails to run, any outdoor space at all where you're not surrounded by buildings? Thanks!

During my interview date they said that they sent out declines, then waitlist offers, then acceptances. Is that not how it works? Have they already sent out all offers of acceptance?
Last year at least, they sent out multiple waves of acceptances on Fridays, then waitlists and declines very last.
Congrats to everyone who has been accepted so far!! I'm excited to meet you all in the fall! 🙂
 
How does the Facebook page work? Do we have to create one or does someone older do it for us? When does it normally come out? I'd like to figure out housing.

Once deposits are paid and you set up your buckeyemail (and once the page is setup as well if it isn’t already) you’ll likely get an email with the link to it. Many people from the classes above you usually join as well to post about housomg opportunities and/or to sell stuff

Okay that's good to know. Thank you!
 
The "Acceptance Fee Received" email.... doesn't have a link to the questionnaire and when I click on the link to view the Incoming Class page it says "access denied".... Anyone else having this problem?

Same! I’m guessing they’ll fix this issue and will notify us (I’ll worry after April 15th). I think the acceptance fee and the Facebook group was the most important thing from the email.

Do not worry about the “city” aspect. Columbus is very diverse and there are plenty of parks, nature trails, farms, etc. And these areas are all close to the veterinary school. Unless you go to downtown Columbus, you are not going to be surrounded by buildings. 🙂

Thanks for the response! This eases my mind a bit. I don't fair well if I can't find some fresh air and trees!
 
FYI for everyone waiting to hear, the Facebook page has 45 members as of now. There are still seats out there guys!

Good luck to everyone that is still waiting to hear. Also, I don’t think the Facebook is a good indicative of spots available. Some people won’t join until later in the summer.

Same, I’d rather have OSU reject me already than have them play games with my email refresh rate and I.

Realistically there is no reason it takes this long does the initial wave of acceptances and rejection. I would understand if we were on a waitlisted status. Just make a decision!

I didn't even think about that... you're right! It's up to around 70 now, so people are starting to make their final decisions and pay their acceptance fee.

I have not join, yet . I will, once I announce it to my family and friends that I’m choosing OSU. If you join does it let others (Facebook friends) know that you belong to that group?

Do you think its just waitlist and rejection left? Or do you think theres a chance there might still be acceptances left?

My rational side believes it’s just wait list and rejections left.. however a small part of me is still hoping for an acceptances to still be sent.
 
I'd rather they didn't tell us they were going to have them in by a certain date and time if that wasn't gonna happen.
 
Good morning,



We just wanted to let you know that scholarship email awards have been sent out via email. You will only notified if you were awarded a scholarship. If you didn’t receive an email, you were not awarded a scholarship. We have numerous scholarships that you may be eligible for in years 2 through 4 that you are not eligible for in your first year.

Just got this at 7:33am. I haven't received an offer yet so I assume two things from this. One, I'm rejected or two I may still have a shot but even if so I will get no money.

Admissions decisions are delayed. Hopefully that is a good thing.

How do you know?
 
I actually just called because I'm sick of waiting. They said we could hear any day between now and Monday. Supposedly Monday is the new "deadline"
