OHIO UNIVERSITY APPLICATIONS ON THE RISE

Appli­ca­tions for admis­sion to Ohio Uni­ver­sity have topped 20,000 for the first time in the school’s 209-year his­tory.

Fresh­man appli­ca­tions for the main cam­pus are report­edly run­ning more than 3,000 ahead of last year’s pace, and some 7,000 ahead of 2011.

School offi­cials there say the growth comes from increases in both in-state and out-of-state stu­dents, and also among inter­na­tional stu­dents.

Only about 4,000 stu­dents will be accepted for the next fresh­man class.
