One of my recommenders is a professor from OSU and another one graduated from OSU, I don't why I was rejected.

Undergrad GPA is 4.57/5.0 (which may be 3.57/4.0); Masters GPA: 3.96/4.0. GRE (Quantitative 164, Verbal 154, Analytical 4.0); Toefl (105) No publications. Strong SOP and Letters of recommendation. No word on funding yet. Goodluck to everyone!

To the poster below: You need to find an advisor willing to fund you or arrange department funding for you.

To the poster below, I only received an email from grad school saying that "the review committee has recommended you for admission", did you get the same message?

2nd rejection :) Will be notified via Email for more information!

To the poster bellow: I've been told they already gave the first round of admissions, but nearly half of the admissions are left. I don't know when they're gonna decide. Good luck to all of us. :)

Application completed on 21 Jan, 2016. It seems that OSU gives a lot of admissions to Ph.D. applicants.

One of my middle choices.Yes, the mail gave me a bad start to the day

3 first author journal articles; 9 publications in all. 3 years of research experience; 2 research internships (1 in India, 1 in Germany)

from SUT. No word on funding. Was my safety option. Thanks God I have a much better offer, really awful correspondence (their IT system literally drives me crazy!)
