Likely the staff has already had some internal conversations with kids in such a position, and have a feel for what the turnover will be. I understand there are currently only 22 scholarships available, but the one thing I haven't heard from those that doubt a class of over 25 is an explanation for the pattern of offers going out. It just doesn't make any sense if we weren't going to take 25-27. You don't send out offers just to send out offers, especially when many receiving them and already holding them are openly interested in OSU.
