<p>Dear seniors,</p>
<p>I am wondering if the biomed engineering mahor at OSU has limited placing (25/75- can’t really rmb the exact number). I read that somewhere a few months back but can’t seem to find it now.<br>
Also, how is OSU’s pre med program? </p>
<p>Thank you :)</p>
<p>How hard are the honors courses?
Specifically, Calculus II and general chem?</p>
<p>Hi,
Do you know if we go ahead submit the housing contract now, with our dorm choices, can we come back at a later date and submit a request for a certain person as our roommate?<br>
I am coming from OOS and currently do not know a sole that will be attending OSU. But I will be attending Honors Day next week and hoping to meet someone then or as the weeks go by maybe I will hear of someone in my area.<br>
Thank you</p>
<p>Hi!
I will be coming to the US in 2014 and I plan to go to Columbus State Community College first and then transfer to OSU.
The thing is that I will come as an international student, of course, and I am really determined about going to OSU, I’ve read so much about it and everything that it’s kind of becoming a dream.
I am afraid because I read on different places that it is becoming very competitive. I plan on studying Computer Science in both schools and I’m a great student, but I wanted to know, do you have any idea if it’s harder for sttudents like me who transfer from community colleges, even with good grades to get accepted, compared to students that apply directly to USU from High School?</p>
<p>Thanks, much appreciated.</p>
<p>My son will be an incoming freshman this fall and will be working off campus as part of stadium crew. Are you familiar with this off campus job? Just curious because it sounds “too good to be true” and I am wondering if there is catch he isn’t aware of.</p>
<p>@invaliderror - Biomed Engineering Numbers are limited but when that question was asked at Honors Accepted Day, the speaker said he couldn’t quote a hard number. He said it varies year to year and with applicant quality. He did say it is currently the most competitive engineering discipline offered at OSU.</p>
<p>How long after submitting your acceptance fee does it take to receive your housing application? My acceptance fee was received over a week ago and I still have not heard anything from housing.</p>
<p>Are professors in OSU enthusiastic to help students? I know that there are a lot of students in OSU. So will I have many chances to communicate with professors?
thanks</p>
<p>inthecollege, there are around a thousand professors at OSU, and around a thousand more assistant or associate professors. I can’t speak for all of them, but I think you will find that if you make the effort to come to office hours and to talk to them before or after class, you will have no problem communicating with the vast majority of your professors. Most of my professors over the past four years have been very eager to help students with class material, and some have even offered career help and advice to those that ask. Many professors are also very easy to reach over email when you have a time-sensitive question. </p>
<p>If you need help in a particular class beyond what a professor or TA can offer you, there are often other resources for tutoring or general help that are free to students. There are permanent math help rooms in one of the buildings on campus, where you can go work on your homework and ask questions when you run into problems.</p>
<p>How hard is it to get accepted to the Fisher college of business major program with an accounting specialization? I’m considering attending OSU because I have a Navy ROTC scholarship to go, but I’m worried about what would happen if I don’t get into the college or specialization that I want. Is it really competitive? What should I do my first year at OSU to help me get accepted?</p>
<p>Thanks, Maybell.
Another question: Do any students learning business belong to Fisher college of business? I saw you guys discuss Fisher college of business very often.</p>
<p>I’m a little confused by your question, inthecollege. All students majoring in business are in the Fisher College of Business. OSU has separate “colleges” within the university, and whichever college your major falls under is the college you belong to. Other colleges include the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering.</p>
<p>Well, I think the name “Fisher College” very interesting. I thought it might be the best part in the College of Business… But now I get it. Thanks.</p>
<p>Being a business student at Ohio State is pretty great. Not only is the undergraduate business program well regarded nationally, but tons of large national and regional companies recruit Fisher students at our job fairs. The self-reported salary statistics from recent grads show that Fisher students tend to have significantly higher starting salaries, on average, than do business students nationwide. We also have the nicest classrooms!</p>
<p>Sounds great :)</p>
<p>anyone knows anything about their pre-med advising? heard a few complaints about it on the forums like them not providing a pre-med committee letter of recommendation? the lack of advising…</p>
<p>Hey! I was wondering which em tests you took and how difficult you found them to be. Thanks!</p>
<p>@acummins048</p>
<p>I took the Marketing and Biology 101 EM tests.</p>
<p>Marketing: Super easy, you could probably pass without ever studying. It’s almost kind of stupid. Definitely worth the $80 or whatever</p>
<p>Bio101: I was never very good at Biology, but put a good amount into studying for this. I missed passing by 8% or something–fairly disappointed, but it still made Bio101 easier for me when I took it. It’s a very easy class anyways–the EM test was probably harder (and has a lot packed in). If you’re good at Bio or recently out of High School, it may be a bit easier to pass and definitely saves a lot of time!</p>
<p>Sorry everyone for not answering lately, but thanks to everyone who was able to jump in and help!</p>
<p>I’m considering the living pattern:
1 Men and women living on the same floor in different rooms
2 M&W only floors in the same residence hall
3 W only floors
Maybe the third one is the best? Does the third one mean the whole dorm consists of only woman?</p>
<p>I actually didn’t know there were single-sex dorms at OSU until I googled that, but it does appear that there are three women-only options, although they appear to each be part of the Alumnae Scholarship Housing Program, through which housing placement is built on a financial-need scholarship. It looks like you have to qualify as low income to be placed in one of those small women-only houses. </p>
<p>Every normal dorm is coed, and most of them are coed by room/ suite or coed by wing, meaning half the hall will have male students, and the opposite half will have female students. </p>
<p>I think it is nice to live with both men and women, since you tend to make friends with the people on your floor, and it is nice to have friends of both genders.</p>
