    This thread wasn't meant to bash any other school. It was only meant to showcase The Ohio State University and the academic and athletic powerhouse it has become.

    You do realize (and I don't go to Ohio State) that in the last 10-15 years, Miami has pretty much fallen to mediocrity in most programs, and OSU has improved above it in the same programs, right?

    Based on what? Miami being the #2 undergrad in the nation, or the fact Miami is the top public university in Ohio?

    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.

    Agreed. I should have said Stanford would be the Ohio State of the West. Harvard is a junk school.

    There's no need to apologize. I'm impervious to your insults and recognize the perspective that the insults are coming from.

    Insults? Actually, it was constructive criticism, which was, in fact, intended to provide a little perspective ;)

    That is not BEST COLLEGES. That is best undergrad teachers.
  • ohiobucks1
    That's not best Undergrad Schools.

    It's schools that focus on undergrad as compared to grad school, best. They're actually different lol

    They're different, sure, but being ranked behind only Dartmouth and Princeton in any category ain't too shabby.....can we agree that we have some excellent schools here in Ohio, and leave it at that?

    Anyone who buys into the rankings bullshit is delusional. Anyone who thinks Miami, with its 10 million dollar endowment can hold a candle to Ohio State and its vast resources is absolutely delusional and/or a Miami grad.
