Ohio State - Referred?

[rooster34]

When I checked on the status of my application to OSU (http://appstatus.osu.edu/) last week I noticed that my status had changed from "AcadReview" to "Referred". Does anyone know what this means?

If you go to "show more information on status", theres a sentence there below your information and above your tests. I'm still in AcadReview, and mine reads "Your application has been sent to the graduate program for academic review." Is yours different?

Mine used to say that. When it went from AcadReview to Referred the message changed to "Your application is currently in the process of being evaluated and prepared for an academic decision."

It seems they really strive to keep that from revealing absolutely anything of the nature of their decision, but I would guess it means the department has sent their decision to the grad school, which has final say. Personally, I would take it positively, but either way expect to hear from them very soon.
