    Bryan,

    Unfortunately, I can’t really answer that question for you. I would encourage you to talk to your student loan lenders about your situation to see if they have any solutions for you. Realistically speaking, the only way that I’m aware of that your financial situation would have an effect on your admissibility to OSU would be if you owed money to a previously attended college or university that would not release official transcripts to us for that reason.

    I think financial education should be taught in all schools and then a lot of the hassle people face, especially in terms of affording college fees would help massively and avoid a lot of pain.
