I am exactly in the same situation. I've contacted a faculty member about 1 month ago, he said that the decisions will me made in a few weeks. However, I still haven't heard either from him or from ESL. But I've found a statistics about graduate funding in OSU, and it said that %95 of the first year graduate students are funded somehow (GRA, GTA, GAA etc.). So, don't need to loose hope, but I'm still concerned. If you hear anything please let me know.
Also have you tried to mail the secretary? I was thinking about doing it but I am scared that it may effect my chances.
