Hi everyone, I'm actually the person who posted my acceptance to OSU first. I just created an account to write a short reply to this forum because I see many of you are curious about OSU's application status. The moment I saw I was accepted on the portal, I automatically assumed that the application status would've been updated for every applicant as well and posted my result right away--but it seems that many of the statuses are still marked pending, looking at this forum.
Although it's purely conjectural, my guess is that OSU is perhaps rolling in the decisions one by one..? Just to let you know, I applied to the program quite early before mid-November, since international applicants normally have an earlier deadline compared to the domestic students in the US. Or from the fact that the only two posters who got accepted to OSU are international students, maybe the program is perhaps reviewing international applications first..? But these are just my guesses.
Anyway, I hope all of you who applied to OSU hear some good news very soon!
