<p>@OSULulz, did you know anyone who got into the Fisher Futures program? Even if you don’t, do you know how competitive it is? I’m thinking about investment banking and even though OSU isn’t a target school for bulge-brackets, I do know about this program. And do you know how successful it’s been with placing its members onto Wall Street?</p>
<p>@20021ys: I found this to be very helpful when deciding my major: <a href=“http://majors.osu.edu/pdfview.aspx?id=118[/url]”>Operations Management - The Ohio State University. Everyone else on here will benefit from this as well. You are definitely able to change if it’s not what you wanted–I didn’t even take Ops courses until I was a senior, so no rush!</p>
<p>@HitchFan: I apologize, but I don’t remember the details like that. Give your advisor a call, they can clear it up [Aeronautical</a> and Astronautical Engineering | Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering](<a href=“http://mae.osu.edu/aerospace/]Aeronautical”>Aerospace Engineering | Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering)</p>
<p>@efeens44: I never looked into the Fisher Futures program so I cannot give a good comment on that. Take a look at this page: [Fisher</a> College of Business | Fisher Futures Investment Banking Program](<a href=“http://fisher.osu.edu/offices/career-management/student-resources/undergraduate/fisher-futures]Fisher”>http://fisher.osu.edu/offices/career-management/student-resources/undergraduate/fisher-futures) It shows the class profile and resumes of the students involved; it looks fairly competitive on the surface</p>

<p>All engineers start as pre majors in the college of engineering. Around your second year you have to apply to your major.</p>
<p>Are you familiar with the Honors Collegium? I came across it on the honors website but I was confused as to exactly what it is though I noticed the alumni appear to be extremely successful. And if you are familiar do you know how competitive it is to get in and what admission criteria is based on specifically?</p>

<p>Honors Collegium is is extremely competitive…only ~15 people admitted per year. My roommate, who is honestly the smartest person I’ve ever known, was in that. I think he got a 36 on his ACT, had a 3.99 GPA, going for his PhD in engineering now, etc. </p>
<p>Check out this website: [Honors:</a> Collegium](<a href=“http://honors-scholars.osu.edu/honors/collegium.aspx#tab=who]Honors:”>http://honors-scholars.osu.edu/honors/collegium.aspx#tab=who)</p>
<p>For students moving onto campus after the first year, how much earlier before classes start do they move in? I know for this past year, the freshmen moved in Aug. 19th (Sun.) and classes started on the 22nd (Wed.).</p>
<p>Also S was told that he would find out in mid-March what building he will be in and what room style he has. Then he will pick the room number he wants. I would have thought they would assign rooms again as they did for freshmen based on what they put down about their habits, areas of interest, etc… Doesn’t sound to me like they do any “matching” if people pick the room they want. Also sounds like it would be harder for the housing department for it to be done that way. I would think there would be multiple poeple requesting the same room in some cases.</p>
<p>Also-do they get a new buckid card every year or keep the same one?</p>
<p>(Yes-I know we are only in early march)</p>
<p>Is Honors Collegium different from those who are awarded the Eminence Scholarship? And if so, how is it different.</p>
<p>@NervousNellie1–</p>
<p>All students are able to move into dorms on the same day, freshmen or not. Most non-freshmen still move in on Sunday, but some come later Sunday or Monday. I would recommend not coming Sunday morning, but wait til mid-late afternoon; it’s much less busy. Ignore what ‘move-in window’ they give you, you can move in ANY time starting Sunday. </p>
<p>The way we chose on-campus housing was the same as freshmen year, based on preferences. You can write down a room number request, but people usually only did that if they wanted the same exact room as the previous year. If you request the same exact room, I think you were guaranteed it. </p>
<p>You keep the same BuckID; if you lose it, it’s a $20 replacement fee. If your old one breaks / fades / won’t scan anymore, they’ll replace it for free. I have two so that I could get non-students into football games :)</p>
<p>@FlyMeToTheMoon – my above post was the extent of my knowledge about Honors Collegium. It’s a very small group of people, so I would check out that website to answer the question. I would assume that they are not the same thing</p>
<p>Pro Tip: Sign up for Amazon Prime–students can get it for half price using a .EDU email address ($40 per year) and they get FREE 2 DAY Shipping. </p>
<p>I used Amazon my last two years for books and it was awesome; 2 day shipping means you can wait til classes start to see if you actually need the book and it still gets there fast. I also used it for ordering regular stuff that wasn’t available near campus…very convenient. I probably saved hundreds of dollars buying books from them.</p>
<p>Pro Tip #2: Have your student sign up for an easily approved credit card! I wish I did this as a freshman (I got one senior year). If they are responsible, it will help increase their credit before they graduate. It will help make the age of their average account older by signing up now, when you don’t need credit to buy things like cars/houses, and will also establish on-time payments. I got a Chase Freedom card and got $300 in cash back (i.e. free money) if I spent $1000 in the first free months (books aren’t cheap!). Look for deals like this!</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Can freshman live at the residence on tenth.?</p>
<p>Cheerrgirll I am wondering the same thing!</p>
<p>Unsure–give them a call, here’s the contact info: [The</a> Residence on Tenth : Residence Halls : University Residences and Dining Services](<a href=“Page Not Found : Housing and Residence Education”>The Residence on Tenth : Residence Halls : Housing and Residence Education)</p>
<p>I’m sure this has been asked, but I don’t feel like reading through 29 pages. Anyways, how was the social life on campus? Did you ever run out of things to do? And is the party scene any good?</p>
<p>@efeens44: This has been discussed. </p>
<p>Much like you don’t feel like reading, I don’t feel like re-writing :)</p>
<p>FlyMeToTheMoon–the way that Honors Collegium worked a few years ago–and it is probably the same now–was that the people picked for the Eminence Scholarship were automatic members and are the only members of their Freshman Class. During the next two years, other students in the Honors College can apply for membership. You need to have excellent grades, good recommendations, and evidence of Leadership. These students are given additional guidance and are provided mentoring. It is hoped that they will apply for prestigious post-grad opportunities–Fulbright, Rhodes, Truman Scholarships, etc. Several years ago, however, there were only ten people who received what is now called the Eminence Scholarship–I think that now there are twenty-five, so I don’t know if they are all admitted to the Honors Collegium.</p>
<p>My D has been admitted to Business Scholar Program. Do u know anything about this program? Thanks.</p>
<p>Do you know anything about how hard it would be to get a scholarship next fall. Recently I have been thinking about taking a gap year which will result in me losing my scholarship and having to reapply to have a chance to get it back. Do you know how likely it will be for me to get the National Buckeye Scholarship and the Provost Scholarship a second time through?</p>
<p>How’s the Barrett House?</p>
