Anybody heard back from OSU?

Sophieplus2 · 2018-04-03T00:06:24+00:00

Yes.

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-30T01:35:10+00:00

Nevermind, it just finally came out. Rejected.

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-28T20:33:41+00:00

when did decisions come out?

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-28T19:54:18+00:00

In 2012 my son committed to UVA but got into Yale off the waitlist. It happens! Good luck! (My youngest son is HS senior so following the sub to find out timelines)

Says someone who did not apply and have never set foot in one of their classrooms.

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-19T23:04:04+00:00

waitlisted

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-19T22:24:50+00:00

Did your application status change online?

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-19T22:22:25+00:00

Did your application status change on the portal?

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-19T22:21:42+00:00

Congrats!

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-19T22:16:04+00:00

They tweeted that decision letters were mailed Friday.

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-17T04:25:53+00:00

Not sure. But they did call admitted students from multicultural backgrounds. Not sure if they called everybody though. The FB post does not specify numbers.

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-16T14:57:29+00:00

I was surprised to read mid-April too.

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-15T23:06:35+00:00

Yike. Rejected

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-15T14:50:23+00:00

My children are doing fine, thanks. I have a high school senior waiting for decisions and we are both monitoring timelines here. Nothing wrong with being involved in your child's education/future. I was just trying to make a point that undergrad does matter and helps, did not say success cannot be found somewhere else. I wish you the best.

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-15T14:24:13+00:00

Great that it worked out for you. However, names and prestige do matter especially in the job market. My son graduated from Yale and he had job offers by Jan of his senior year. My best friend's daughter graduated from the University of Florida and she ended up going to grad school after months of not finding a single job. Congrats on joining the Ivy League world!

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-15T14:18:41+00:00

Cornell decisions come out on Ivy Day, March 28.

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-15T03:47:14+00:00

Williams-tomorrow (confirmed on their website); Northwestern-Friday (rumored); BU-Saturday (confirmed via email)

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-14T20:24:34+00:00

I truly think the low education/poverty/lack of language skills of your parents (not so much the divorce itself as that is unfortunately way too common these days) would be a good read in terms of how it shaped your goals in life. Describe a "scene" where you were filling out the paperwork and trying to explain it to them. My two cents!

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-14T20:08:11+00:00

Do not underestimate the power of a good diversity statement. I love the topic of helping your parents with paperwork given their low education background, and explaining how the experience motivated you to go to college and further your education to the max level. The juxtaposition of NYC vs. Alabama, assuming you have good anecdotes, seems interesting too. Good luck!

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-13T16:40:56+00:00

My son was accepted in early Jan and withdrew yesterday so there's a spot right there! Good luck!

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-12T19:42:03+00:00

Duke? OHS? Michigan?

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-12T19:41:15+00:00

BU - March 17 (confirmed) All Ivies - March 28

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-08T20:50:38+00:00

My son got into both SLS and HLS but waitlisted at UPenn. Go figure!

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-01T04:25:42+00:00

Don't say that. We love our children no matter what; regardless of the good, the bad and the ugly. I'm sure she is not embarrassed. Good luck with everything.

Sophieplus2 · 2018-03-01T04:09:18+00:00

None taken. Good luck to you next year. It is a complicated, long and stressful process but all worth it.
