<p>Oh, sorry, Ohiomom--not an intentional slight! I do know it's OSU; don't know why I typed it that way (and condolences on the game last night.)</p>
<p>garland - actually, I prefer Ohio University to OSU ....</p>
<p>The game last night was pretty sad, though - only watched part of it!</p>
<p>Informational question to Ohioans - how selective is OSU for OOS?? I thought that might be some of the concern about the kid in the OP, that the only safety was an OOS school??</p>

I don't believe its all that selective for high stats OOS kids - nothing like UVA, anyway. It should be a good likely. What I am not sure of are the financial aspect - eligibility for scholarships and so on. There is also the issue of the instate / OOS tuition difference.</p>
<p>"There are LOTS of kids with stats that say "Harvard" who do not get into Penn."</p>
<p>^^ We know one: close family friend. Got into H; double legacy at UPenn, but was rejected from Penn. (Did not, as you note, apply ED; did have on-campus interview -- but there is another myth that the "privilege" of an on-campus inteview -- which Penn extends only to legacies -- will position the student better for acceptance.) She had a horrible on-campus one @Penn, a great off-campus one from Harvard. You can guess where she is now.</p>
