Nofia Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 anybody have any idea when they'll be sending out notifications? I tried to call the history office yesterday, but got the graduate coordinator's voicemail and was way to chicken to leave a message haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmh26 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I haven't herard anything. I am worried that I will receive the letter when I am in Michigan this week. Please let me know if you hear anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nofia Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 hopefully they'll post it on the status page soon...I'll be away for a few days for work, and not being able to check my regular mailbox is going to be a drag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmh26 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Just FYI, OSU will make decisions next week and notify via email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nofia Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 thanks! it really relieves so much of the anxiety to just know when the decisions are coming. this is great to hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nofia Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I just called and they said decisions would be sent out in the next 2 weeks. harumph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmh26 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 This is ridiculous! They told me this week via email. I am not liking this! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nofia Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 i know! maybe they'll surprise us and let us know today (please!) the fellow I spoke to didnt seem to know much and had to go ask someone, so who knows. sigh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nofia Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 hmph, halfway through another week and still no news! what gives here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmh26 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Someone posted an acceptance on the results page via email. I guess I didn't get in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Any news? BTW, any other Ohio natives here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmh26 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 So I got an email from the russian center saying I am an alternate for a fellowship.....does this mean I am waitlisted for history? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksgrad Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Any news? I emailed two weeks ago and called the department on Wednesday (they took down my number and said the grad coordinator would return my call). With a December 1 deadline, this wait is now completely ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amanda1655 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I met someone at a visit day who was planning to visit Ohio State within the next few weeks as part of an official visit weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nofia Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I emailed the grad coordinator last week and she emailed back saying I'd been rejected. It would be nice if they would actually notify people--my status online hasn't changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksgrad Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 My status online hasn't changed, and I can't get a response from anyone in the department. I'd love to write them off at this point, but it's my last hope. I'm just going to keep crossing my fingers that I'm on a wait list...until they bother to tell me otherwise. Thanks for the feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksgrad Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Nofia: Quick question for you...did the financial aid office at OSU send you the fellowship form? It seems pretty generic and is probably something they send to all applicants. I was hoping it might be an indication that my application was at least on a wait list, but, at this point, it probably seems like a false hope. Thanks!

Nofia Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 no they didn't...I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that you're in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 ksgrad - I haven't gotten anything either, it may be a good sign... Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksgrad Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Steve: Have you received a response from them yet? I'm trying not to push the department too hard (though I have emailed and called); I don't want to irritate anyone if I am indeed on a wait list! Thanks - Kate btw, I just saw your previous post. I grew up in Cleveland and did my undergrad at Miami. I'm living in NY at the moment, but would return to OH in a heartbeat if OSU offered admission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hey Kate, Glad to see a fellow Clevelander. No, I haven't heard a thing since they confirmed that my application was complete about 4 months ago! I was thinking about calling. You would hope that someone wouldn't be yanked from a waiting list for asking about their status, and I don't think that would actually ever happen, but its just unbelieveable that hundreds of people are waiting on OSU, many of whom have to make decisions by April 15 and need time to consider if they do get in, and they are taking this long to respond! It seems like things get sent out often on Fridays, so I'm hoping that OSU and a couple other schools I am waiting to hear from finally got their shit together; seeing as its almost April already. Then again, yesterday was Good Friday, so most universities were probably closed! :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmh26 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 So, I was told I was ranked 21 on their admit list, and originally I was borderline because they weren't sure if they were going to take 20, 21, or 22 students. I called again, and was told to pursue other offers, then I get an email saying I am an alternate for a FLAS. I call the department back and the lady tells me that I was probably accepted to another program, but not in History. I DIDN'T apply to another program! So I said, why would I be waitlisted for a fellowship if you are telling me I didn't get in? The whole situation is ridiculous. And I have to ask all of you that are waiting..is it worth going to a school that can't get their shit together at the admissions level? I got the same fellowship I am waitlisted for at Ohio at another school..so I am going to Kansas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksgrad Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 dmh26: You make an excellent point. I've already decided that if I don't receive any admission letters this year, OSU will not be on the list when I reapply. I really don't like the way they've treated me (i.e. refused to respond to my inquiries) throughout the application process, and it sounds as thought I'm not alone. With that said, if I, by some chance, actually receive an acceptance letter in the next week or so, I'm not sure I would turn them down. This entire situation is maddening! By the way, congratulations on Kansas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
