Ohio State c/o 2019 Applicants Forum

[LuxTheMuppet]

Any other EA applicants still waiting? I don't see the point of having an EA decision deadline if they're not going to process the applications I before the deadline.

Yeah, still waiting. Pretty frustrating process.

Applied RD in early November and was accepted this morning

[PeterGibbons90]

Just got my acceptance e-mail. They really took that down to the wire considering I'm an EA applicant. Hopefully all the other EA applicants hear soon too.

[Nova2016]

In today. Any idea of timeframe on scholarships? How generous are they?

Congrats! Still nothing and I applied EA. Hopefully the rest of us will hear sometime next week.

Anyone know when asw is?

Anyone know when asw is?

I did mine in April, I believe. If there isn't any information on the admitted students page, just call/email the admissions office.

If any of you have questions about OSU, I'd be happy to answer whatever I can.

Will do, thanks! Also, does scholarship info come in the official mail (snail mail), or in an email? How long after acceptance did you get an offer?

I received my offer via email about a month after acceptance. That said, I'm not 100% sure how the timing works throughout the whole cycle. One great thing about OSU is that their staff will help you through everything. If you have any financial aid questions, including when offers can be expected, just reach out to Marc Nawrocki. His contact info can be found here: http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/admissions/jd/ ... ons-staff/

Hope that helps.

It does. Thanks! Another question. I have done my research at a basic level, but how is the private law situation in Columbus/Ohio. It seems like there are a lot more opportunities than I had first expected.

Employment all around seems to be getting better in Columbus. BigLaw opportunities are obviously still going to be relegated to the top ranked students (top 15%-ish), but we have a fairly robust legal market here in regards to the midsize and smaller firms. Anecdotally, most people I know have the job type they were looking for.

Seems like you know your stuff so i figured id ask you. How does OSU match up nationally as far as job prospects? I know its a broad question but work with me.

In today via email!

Congrats! When did you apply? I applied in September and it's been crickets since then.

Thanks! Applied 12/14 Early Admission. Despite the EA deadline having passed, they noted that I was admitted through that in the email i got. I should also note that I saw absolutely zero movement on the status checker since going "Complete - File awaiting review" on 12/14. Hope you get good news soon!

[MacDhubstep]

OSU still hasn't gotten back to me, applied 12/3.

[Billy Madison]

OSU still hasn't gotten back to me, applied 12/3.

It's gonna be a while. I applied a month before you and I guarantee I'm not even at the front of the line...

Ugh so annoying. I think I looked it up and I should (Based on their timeline) be hearing back soon. I don't plan on going there anyway, just wanna have all my offers in before I seat deposit elsewhere.

[lawlawlaw22]

Both of you that are waiting still are EA???

[hbaker712]

Do you mean in terms of national placement or just in terms of total employment stats? Either way, my best suggestion is to check out LST and NALP reports. OSU is traditionally a regional school, placing a significant percentage of grads in Ohio. That said, we do have placement in the large markets as well.

Hope that helps.

In the respect of employment, what's your opinion for OSU vs. Iowa?

I think they're both strong regional schools, so employment outlook will likely be dependent on where you intend to practice. The schools are comparable in the big markets, excluding IL where Iowa places a lot of grads.

My suggestion is to look specifically at the NALP reports. They're more detailed than a basic LST report and can give you a good glimpse of the employment picture.

Anyone hear back about scholarships yet?

[WaitWaitDontSay]

Got email from LawAdmit@OSU, briefly felt extreme excitement, then discovered it was a stupid ad for the dispute resolution program

This just happened to me too -_- Don't be playing me like this OSU
