<p>One you really don’t want to miss with your stats - Ohio State, ranked #14 in Undergrad Business on USNWR, and #2 in the nation in “Economic / Business” by Wall Street Journal. </p>

<p>With your stats, Ohio State should be added as one of your safety schools (50% ACT 27-31) as OP might qualify for the most prestigious “Eminence Scholarship,” which will cover full cost of attendance with additional $3,000 grant given for research. At the very least, OP should definitely receive the “National Buckeye Scholarship” for the OOS students. </p>

<p>Geographic diversity (Columbus campus, autumn 2011)</p>

<p>Ohio State enrolls students from every state and territory. States with the highest enrollment:</p>

<p>500+: Pennsylvania, Illinois, New York, California, Michigan
300 – 499: Texas, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia
100 – 299: Florida, Indiana, Georgia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Utah, Minnesota, Missouri, Arizona, Tennessee, Connecticut
50 – 99: West Virginia, Washington, Colorado, South Carolina, Kansas</p>

<p>Best of Luck & Go Bucks!! :)</p>

<p>Moving on. OP doesn’t seem to really want help since s/he just skirts the whole issue of finances.</p>

23

<p>Does that make any sense at all? If anything, my “[skirting of] the whole issue of finances” would make it easier for CC to provide possible safeties.</p>

<p>If I didn’t want help regarding possible safeties, I wouldn’t have posted this thread now would I? If I didn’t need help and was messing around, I would have just posted another entire thread instead of digging up this old one, wouldn’t I have?</p>

<p>So, please, if you have no suggestions don’t come here and post your nonsense. You can up your 11k post count somewhere else.</p>

<p>Safeties:
Virginia Tech
Ohio State
Villanova
Santa Clara
Miami of Ohio
Northeastern
Texas A&M (Auto admit)
SUNYs
CUNYs
Rutgers
Lehigh
Case Western
Trinity University
Wisconsin</p>

<p>I have no idea about any of these schools fin aid</p>

25

<p>What do you mean by Texas A&M’s “auto-admit”?</p>

26

<p>Your scores/gpa qualify you for auto admit to A&M I believe</p>

27

<p>Texas public universities have specified automatic admission criteria for Texas resident applicants based on class rank and sometimes test scores. Check each Texas public university’s admission web pages.</p>

28

<p>^ A&M has the 10% rule for in-state
If you get a 1300 CR+M and in the top 25% of your class you also get auto admit (In-state or out of state)</p>

<p>The college search on this site has a box you can check to make it show potential safeties.</p>

<p>OP, I’m going to assume you are not aware that a safety is NOT a safety unless it is also affordable. That is why a number of posters have asked what your family can afford despite your skirting the issue. I suggest you look at this thread:</p>
