<p>There was a similar thread posted, but I’m not interested in apparent “prestige” of the honors program. I want to know what it means after I graduate. Am I going to be competitive with kids from top colleges? even close? will I be able to get into any graduate or professional program that I want to (assuming that I have the right gpa/test scores)? I’m really wondering if I should pay a lot of money to go to Duke or just save my money and go to Ohio State. Btw, I live in Ohio and love OSU, I just wanna be able to make bank when i get out of school.</p>
<p>EDIT: If anyone has statistics on acceptances to professional/grad programs or related statistics of what honors grads do after school, that would be awesome since i cant seem to find any online.</p>
<p>Sure you can. I mean, an honors status won’t get you any of those things, it’s what you do with it. OSU has great resources to help you be very competitive with other top students, it’s a matter of taking advantage of them.</p>
<p>Here’s a list of OSU students who have recently won the most competitive awards/scholarships/fellowships out there.</p>
<p>If you want statistics you need to be more specific about what program you’re looking at, I think. The honors program at OSU is bigger than many other schools entire student bodies, a list of what thousands of students are doing isn’t very easy to make.</p>
<p>No stats here but IMO top grades from OSU business & engineering, excellent test scores (GMAT, MCAT, etc), and captalizing on the opportunities available at a school like OSU (networking, research, leadership, etc) will make you competitive for top professional/graduate programs.</p>
