Application Info
OSU offers EA and RD through Common App. The application fee is $60 or a fee waiver. The applicant portal is here.
Test Score Policy
OSU is test-optional; applicants may not self-report results. Only the best composite score from a single test administration is considered.
English Proficiency Exams
OSU requires proficiency exam scores from international applicants unless they are native English speakers, hold citizenship in an English-speaking country, or have attended a U.S. high school for at least three full years. Applicants who have held U.S. permanent resident, asylee, or refugee status for less than one year are also subject to this requirement. More information here.
Financial Aid
OSU guarantees fixed tuition for all Ohio residents, meaning your tuition and mandatory fees will not increase for the first four years of your undergraduate degree. The current cost of attendance can be found here, and the net price calculator is here. International students are not eligible for most types of financial aid and should expect to pay the full cost of attendance.
Interviews
OSU does not offer interviews.
