Because OSU is one of the best public schools in the country and there's a god damn reason that those people at d3 schools couldn't get in. And if you got in and didn't go here, you made a bad decision.

If you want to prove me wrong, find numbers of graduate school admittants with similar scores and GPA from a small school and a top 55 school.


I'm not talking about your (to the older guys) OSU, I'm not talking about your dad's (for the younger crowd) OSU where it took a pulse to get in, I'm talking about right now, now that OSU is an actual legitimate school with extremely tough admissions requirements.

If place of degree doesn't matter, then why are some places harder to get into than others? There's no answer that doesn't require place of degree mattering.

People are so delusional when they go to a mediocre at best school and try to justify it with lines like this. BGSU is a bottom feeder school, welcome to reality.

I would be willing to guarantee that there are people who went to OSU who had similar GPA's and MCAT scores to me that didn't get in. School name plays a very small role in the admissions process for med schools. Unless you went to an Ivy league or comparable school, the benefits you get from having a "name school" on your application are minimal compared to your letters of rec, research, and community involvement. There are a ton of factors that are involved in getting into medical school. The name of the school you did your undergrad at is about as minimal as you can get.

I'm willing to bet theres a lot more people playing at DIII schools out there that take it more seriously than some of you jokers seem to think. I wouldn't spend up to 40 hours a week coaching, making recruiting calls, etc. on top of a full course load if I didn't take it seriously

I think that's why you see more kids quit D3 football than you do baseball.

Do not correct me again...unless you have have fully read my post. I didn't even go to BGSU but in 1989 they along with Muskingum had one of the top education departments in the country. This is not just conjecture. But then again I know what you are and I understand that you are masturbating at this opportunity to be a troll.

lhslep134;499970 wrote:Congrats, that's from 2006.

A lot has changed in the past 4 years.

If you look at the bottom, it says median ACT is 25 and SAT is 1190. Those scores won't get you anywhere close to being admitted into OSU now, let alone Fisher.

Nice FAIL dumbass.
