Thee Ohio State University News

Pretty certain I wouldn't have qualified to go undergrad at tOSU given these high score requirements. Did go to Miami U, and five or so years later heard university president speak at alumni gathering in Dallas. He led off with, "most of you wouldn't have qualified for entry to MU now" sort of thing. Glad to see the younger generations are getting smarter than us old folk....

Retention rate is something like 93% as well. That's the number I was curious about.
Graduation rates are interesting. Fredo still has a slightly higher 4 year rate, but then there's a big gap in Ohio State's favor for the 6 year rate. I'd guess that's due to the fact that Ohio State still takes its role as a public university seriously and has high numbers of first generation and Pell Grant eligible students who need the extra year while Fredo is a safety school for rich kids who didn't get into their Big Ten school.

Be interested if they have commuters split out at all or if there's some other metric you can stand in for kids that work more than they are in class. (I don't know how else to say it). Other thing, more directly to the public university/land grant mission is that as much as it should be very seamless to transfer from a branch to Columbus, my sense is if you get past 3 semesters at a branch there's a good chance you waste a little time if the branch doesn't have your ultimate major. You cant transfer into some of these professional degrees like youre not missing a beat.
