<p>Which one is harder to get into for an OOS?</p>
<p>probably ohio state. miami's private, so i don't think it matters if you're in state or out of state.</p>
<p>O-h...</p>
<p>...i-o</p>
<p>There could be some confusion here. Are you talking University of Miami - Coral Gables or Miami University - Oxford? If you're talking Florida, that's definitely easier for OOS. But Miami of Ohio is easier than Ohio State for OOS.</p>
<p>Miami Ohio has 35% OOS students, while OSU has only 15%. Not sure about Coral Gables, but a private university is way easier for out of state. It really doesn't make much of a difference, at least theoretically.</p>
<p>miami fl has 55% oos students.</p>
<p>I'm assuming you meant Miami Ohio?</p>
<p>Obviously, state residency isn't a big factor at most private schools, so state shouldn't make a difference at Miami FL.</p>
<p>i am talking about U of Miami FLORIDA.</p>
<p>Miami is much harder.</p>
<p>really... thats not what the rest are saying... for an OOS</p>
<p>Ohio State is going to be the harder school to get into based on their respective '05, '06 and '07 freshman classes, and it looks as though Ohio State is widening the gap considerably.</p>
<p>2007 Freshman Class at Ohio State
52% acceptance rate
56% from top tenth
93% from top quarter
Middle 50% on ACT 26-30
**I could only find the 2006 numbers for the below stats, and it's almost certain that they rise with the '07 class
Percent scoring 30+ on ACT: 24%
Percent scoring 26+ on ACT: 67%</p>
<p>2007 Freshman Class at Miami of Ohio
75% acceptance rate
35% from top tenth
73% from top quarter
Middle 50% on ACT 24-28
Percent scoring 30+ on ACT: 15%
Percent scoring 26+ on ACT: 56%</p>
<p>They're two very different universities, so if you can get into both of them, it should probably come down to which is a better fit. Miami is very homogenous, which attracts some people while others find it stifling. </p>
<p>Ohio State is going to be much more diverse with a wide variety of people from a cultural, political and socio-economic background perspective. Also, being an AAU university, you will be exposed to a far higher caliber of faculty than at Miami.</p>
<p>University of Miami (FL) doesn't care if you are OOS or not. They are a private institution, so being OOS won't hurt you.</p>
<p>Ohio State is a public university and they prefer their students to be from the state of Ohio. So your chances of getting in are worse than they would be if you were instate.</p>
<p>However, University of Miami is much more competitive. And getting into UMiami is way harder than Ohio State (OOS) will ever be.</p>
<p>^I wouldn't be so sure of all that. I'm sure Ohio is looking for OOS students. Why wouldn't they? The more OOS students they accept, the better reputation OSU has nationally. I know of a local state university that gives full scholarships to international students to improve its international reputation. OSU isn't like UCs where there are thousands of qualified in-state applicants every year. Ohio's population is a fraction of California's, so its state universities will reflect that.</p>
<p>OSU is much easier to get in and get merit money being OOS than Miami.</p>
<p>i am going to ohio state next symester, and am an out of state. i am transfering there from auburn. here are my high school stats:</p>
<p>2.5 unweighted gpa, 3.1 w (6 ib's j year, 5 ib's s year, toughest classes)
30 ACT
11 credits at auburn, 4.0 unw gpa</p>
<p>i remember the transfer acceptance rate was something like 78%, and even oos, i thought i had a good chance getting in. i live in michigan, and its close enough, but just thought that i would give my input, as i am not what you would consider a normal osu applicant.</p>
<p>How can you possibly live in Michigan and want to transfer to Ohio State? That's just unreal.</p>
<p>You're definitely an odd one, not as an insult, but very few people in Michigan go to school in Alabama, and then transfer to the school that most of them grew up to hate.</p>
<p>He must have realized that Ohio State > Michigan :)</p>
<p>so true...</p>
