Ohio State University-Main Campus Early Decision: there is no Early Decision round

Does Ohio State University-Main Campus have Early Decision?

Ohio State University-Main Campus reports no Early Decision round (Common Data Set 2026-2027). Its early option is Early Action, which is not binding — an Early Action offer does not commit you to attend. There is no Early Decision application to spend here.

Admitted SAT · middle 50% · College Scorecard 2024

1310–1480

Half of admitted students scored inside this range. It is the admitted band, not a minimum and not a cutoff, and it covers the whole entering class rather than the Early Decision round alone.

What families actually pay (AY 2023–24)

An Early Action offer is not binding, so applying early here does not end the option of comparing two aid offers. These are the published averages either way.

Family income under $30k$4,885

Family income $30k–$48k$5,751

Family income $48k–$75k$9,807

Family income $75k–$110k$20,461

Family income over $110k$27,359

Average paid by students receiving federal aid, by family income (College Scorecard).

In-state students only.

International students are not eligible for U.S. federal aid, so they are not in this cohort and typically pay closer to the sticker price.

Across the 8 recorded cycles from 2017 to 2024, Ohio State University-Main Campus's overall acceptance rate rose from 48.1% to 60.6%. That is the whole entering class — Early Decision, Early Action and Regular Decision together — not the Early Decision round on its own.
