$10 says you would not get into Ohio State. 10 years ago sure, but like I said they have made it increasingly difficult because their goal is to become the next public Ivy like a Michigan or UC Berkley.

As far as Ohio State rankings, I give you:

http://www.cob.ohio-state.edu/about/ranking-and-statistics/rankings
Should I give you my address so you can mail me my money or do you just want to do it over Paypal?
You really are going to go through the whole trouble of forging your transcripts and ACT/SAT scores just to win $10? Hell, the application fee for OSU is $50, so you'd be down $40 just to try.

Smart man! LOL
I was joking about the address thing but you're an idiot if you really think I couldn't have gotten into OSU had I applied.
I'm sure you would have because the average ACT score on the huddle is 32 or something like that.

A little arrogant don't you think?

Sorry didn't mean to get off topic ...
It's not arrogance if its true.
I was holding back on saying anything bad about OSU because my fiance went there and I do respect the university, but it's remarks like these that perpetuate negative attitudes toward the school.

Please don't judge all OSU grads based on Sleeper's posts. :-/

Lots of good info so far.. I dont really think im planning on going to graduate school...

Something I would also like to know from people who are currently or have graduated from the school you are talking about is what kind/how much of a financial aid package did you get? Also if you could let me know your families income(pm me if you want), so I can get some idea of what financial aid im looking to receive from the school.

You were "holding back" on saying anything bad?

Please, begin listing the "bad" about OSU. I'll start the list:

1. I didn't get in

LOL

Sleeper...Interesting that you expect me to "read" all of your mindless posts when you clearly didnt pay any attention to my first and much larger response to you. Instead you chose to respond to something that was merely an afterthought and you failed to address anything that my posts were really about. You attacked an idea that I presented, to prove that you said it before me? Neat.

And you're trying to prove OSU gives a superior education..

But to the OP, While your getting paid more recieving an MBA from a top 10 school, it is in direct correlation to the amount of money you pay to attend these schools. The professors are paid more, and facilities are nicer for students, and that is reflected in prices. The more expensive schools often have newer or more accomodating facilities.. Prices usually reflect what the schools offer and it doesnt necessarily reflect the education you recieve. So you may have a higher paying job graduating from one of these Universities, but how much of that is going to pay for your school debt? Of course you can recieve funding that you will not have to pay back.. But that is also money that the college or university will recieve whether its by grant or scholarship or some form of financial aid. So look at your financials too.. What is the economical choice? What campus seems to have the most to offer for the price? I firmly believe that if you're only going to school for four years, and your choices dont include Ivy League schools, go to the school you feel most comfortable at.. Go to the school where you feel you will absorb and learn the information best. Also, a lot of claims are made about the colleges on "college visits" and tours by the guides that can be found false or misleading with a little bit of research. If you're an average, or slightly above average student, it really wont matter where you go your first four years. If you're obviously more intelligent than the general populace or you have a lot of money and know some people, you'll be at Harvard, or Yale.. The choice can be tough, but from personal experience.. You'll be happier with your choice if you're going there for you, and not because of the name or prestige. Visit schools, and compare their respective programs, and offerings.. Find what you feel is most comfortable.

Haha..

Sleeper, for someone who is such a hard working Buckeye, I would assume you would read something regardless of length. That way you could post an intelligent response and save everyone else from doing any work. You may want to think about changing your Signature to something other than "Working hard, so you don't have to."

It must be nice working for Ohio State Grads.

Wait, I'll keep this short.. You're probably too pressed for time between doing everyone elses work and ignoring everything that might burst your enormous ego.

Don't listen to the haters, sleeper. They're probably just SEC grads who are bitter about being sub-par.

Indiana University's Kelly School of Business. Its a great program. I had to take a few classes in it and they were tough, but also taught me by far the most. I wasnt even a business major.
