Early action What did we learn?
Technical problems won’t stop students.
Students really do pay attention to deadlines.
The November 1 deadline did what we expected it to do…but then surprised us.
Katie Cook Assistant Director Undergraduate Admissions
Many students want to major in competitive programs but still want to explore their options.
Students don’t always understand the benefits of applying to Honors & Scholars or the Morrill Scholars Program…
…or intentional four-year programming with a scholarship component vs. a merit scholarship.
Introducing a second-year living requirement.
Nov. 1 early action and priority deadline Freshman applicants to the Columbus campus for autumn semester who submit the Common Application and all required materials by our November 1 early action deadline qualify for:
• An admissions decision by mid-January – Indicate interest in “early action” on the Common Application
• Priority consideration for merit scholarships and Honors and Scholars Programs
– Indicate interest in Honors, Scholars and/or the Morrill Scholars Program on the Common Application
– Complete the associated essay(s) Note! Meeting the early action deadline is strongly recommended for applicants applying to the College of Engineering.
Decision timeline
Admissions
• Early action Applicants who meet the November 1 deadline and select the early action decision plan on the Common Application will receive a decision no later than mid-January
• Regular admission Students not interested in the early action deadline must apply by February 1 and applications will be evaluated on a rolling admission timeline
Decisions
Admissions
• Admit to the Columbus campus
• Deny to the Columbus campus – Ohio residents will be admitted to their second-choice campus
• Defer to be considered again during the mid-March review once all applications are received – Please see FAQ for additional information about defer decision
