Just got email saying I'm not being offered any scholarship $$$. This actually surprised me. I have a 175 a 3.0 lsdas, but with 2 post grad degrees (one being another ug degree) with like 3.9. And I'm a fucking OSU alum...soon withdrawing I suspect. WHy would I go to osu at cost over Northwestern at cost with badass lrap?

That's rough man, sorry to hear. The Moritz Merit doesn't necessarily use LSDAS gpa, so I figured you had a good shot there.

Just emailed the finaid dean asking them to reconsider, or at least have a longer conversation with me about things. We'll see, my wife really doesn't want to move! On the bright side, a while ago capital gave me a bunch of $$

I think this is a good approach, perhaps they were simply engaging in a little YP??? All they would need is your intent, unless there is something else about your file that would cause a hesitation! Good luck bud!

I'm out. In my withdrawal letter I'll be requesting that my scholarship money goes to the person with the Dr. Cox avatar. hth.

Awesome, I had old percival cox watermarked on my resume, so it should be a cinch!

Not sure if it's actually helpful at all, but I thought I'd mention it because it's interesting.

After being admitted the OSU status checker continues to update. What I'm pointing out is specifically the Mailings section. Everything they send to you via email or snail mail, including those single page mailings like the career services letter, is marked down. Again, it's not very helpful but it at least helps you keep track of everything they're sending you.

I went complete the first week of December and my wonderful alma mater has still yet to even render a decision to me.

How does need-based grant work in OSU?

[BuckNuts]

I'm pretty sure today was the FAFSA deadline for need-based at Ohio State. I seem to recall the admissions office saying they offer a max of $8,500/year for need-based aid. Hope this helps.

7.5k/yr diversity enrichment scholarship, I'm happy with any money, so today was a good day.

Is FAFSA the only thing that I have to file for need-based grant?

No, there was a Moritz need-based grant application form (LinkRemoved) that needed to get in by March 1.

We have nearly the same numbers, and I've been complete since 12/3...

That is way past the 6-8 week turnaround time they claim. I hope we hear from them before deposits are due at other schools in April.
