I missed the regular deadline for Ohio State University and I'm really interested in applying. Does anyone know if OSU accepts late applications or if there are any special procedures for this situation?
Ohio State University (OSU) generally has a firm application deadline. The application deadline for incoming freshmen into the Autumn 2025 semester is January 15th, 2025, and the university typically does not extend this deadline or accept late applications. However, I would encourage you to reach out directly to the OSU Admissions Office to inquire about your specific situation. Make sure to explain any extenuating circumstances (if any) that led to you missing the deadline.
OSU does have a rolling application process for transfer students, so if you're a college student looking to transfer, you could potentially apply later in the year. If you're a high-school senior, however, your options may be more limited.
Remember that sometimes, deadlines are firm for a reason, such as to allow the admissions office adequate time to review all applications and make decisions. However, it never hurts to ask and explore all your options. Good luck!
