Oregon State U -  New this year, they have an early admission deadline for those students who are ready to apply and would like to have an earlier admissions decision.  The due date for this early application is Nov. 1 and students will hear their admissions decision from OSU by mid December.  The regular decision deadline is still Feb. 1.  Also new this year, OSU has posted a minimum application GPA of 3.0.  Applicants who have less than a 3.0, will be asked to furnish a 7th semester transcript before an admissions decision can be made, and those applicants will be notified as to their admissions decision by March 20, 2014.  See http://oregonstate.edu/ for more information.
