Hey Guys,

Any idea whether the admissions committee has sent all the interview invites to international applicants. I am an Indian applicant and have not received any invite until now. So is there any point of waiting for the invites.
Pls help
Thanks

Hi Sarang,

Glad to see you helping out the prospective students here. I am also applying for next Fall. I have a query.

I wish to apply before Nov'15 deadline. But I will not be able to provide my TOEFL score before that deadline. I have booked a date for TOEFL and will surely get my score by November end. Kindly guide whether I can still apply before the Nov'15 deadline and update the score afterwards? Or can I get a TOEFL waiver?

I have mailed one of the adcoms regarding this. Haven't got their reply yet. What's your take regarding this? Because I would like to apply for fellowship and if TOEFL is mandatorily required before Nov'15, then I need not rush with my essays and LORs.

Thanks in advance.
Regards

I have not heard of anything from them yet, but I am still hopeful.
Let's wait together.

Hi Sarang,

Thank you so much for the update.
But out of more curiosity I am asking this, "When can we expect to start hearing from the school regarding the interview invite?"
I had submitted my application a month ago and haven't heard of anything yet, so I was kind of worried and curious.

Hi,

We review files and try to give decisions about interviews within 4-6 weeks of receiving a 100% completed application.

Hi,

The TOEFL will be waived if you have earned a degree from a U.S. university. Applicants who are citizens of, or who have received a bachelor's degree or higher in, one of the following countries are exempt from the TOEFL requirement: Anguilla, Antigua, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Caicos Islands, Canada (except Quebec), Cayman Islands, Dominica, England, Grenada, Guyana, Ireland, Jamaica, Liberia, Montserrat, New Zealand, Scotland, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks, United States, and Wales.

Based on your TOEFL exam date, you could send a mail to [FCOB-GPOProcessing@osu.edu] to check on your specific case.

Warm Regards,
Sarang

Hi SarangNampoothiri

I have got an interview invite but in the email there's just three options provided through which we can opt for interview
1. Campus
2. Off-Campus (USA and Canada)
3. Video

You mentioned, in your previous post, that the AdCom will be travelling to India in the First Week of December. I want to opt for Face-to-Face interview, when they are in India. Will it be possible for me to opt for that?
I tried calling up the AdCom, unfortunately I couldn't speak to anyone and it went as a recorded message.

Would you be having any idea in this regard?

Thanks,
Rex
