sleeper;1253700 wrote:The problem with Ohio State is that it used to be an open enrollment school back when a majority of the older people on this site were applying to college. This put it 70-80 years behind other established universities who cared more about enrolling elitist kids from rich families where Ohio State was educating all varieties of students.

Time's have changed. I truly believe I would not be able to get into Ohio State at this point because it is outstripping even my greatest credentials. Harvard will be known as the Ohio State of the East in 10-15 years as more money and more prestige is granted rightfully to the University.

more like 183rd. Although that same site ranked OSU #188 so I guess that proves Miami > Ohio State...at least til the rankings come out next year
