<p>Completely agreed with your second post, consulation. I didn’t reaize that my first comment on the subject came off like that. </p>
<p>However, I said that because I visited a well-respected and known tech school that is often mentioned on these boards, and I saw almost no women, and the women that I did see honestly looked like lesbians or like they have severe emotional problems (emo). The school I am talking about has a student body in which 70% of students are autistic in some form, and that is not a social atmosphere that I want. </p>
<p>Still, it IS completely unaccpetable to only judge women by outward appearence, and you can rest assured that my main focus is inner beauty and common interests. My common interests, however, do not cross paths with women at the tech school that I visited.</p>
<p>I do the drive from Cincinnati to DC all the time and it is definitely not 7 hours. More like 9-10. If you fly, it’s only like an hour and 5 minutes. But If you are looking at DC, you might want to consider George Washington University (not the same thing as Georgetown. I always get confused). Howard is a pretty good school in DC too, but it is historically black and I don’t know your race.</p>
<p>Anyway, a lot of kids at my Ohio high school go to OSU, which is, as you probably know, huge. UofM is pretty big too. If you aren’t, as a possible OSU fan, categorically opposed to UofM, it is a really good school and not too big.</p>
<p>For reaches, maybe Oberlin in Ohio. It’s a really great LAC. I know a bunch of people that go there and right now they have about two months off to learn whatever they want to. It’s really amazing. Oberlin also has a huge art collection. Maybe WashU in St. Louis as another reach.</p>
<p>Case Western is a very good school, but its math and science oriented and has a sizable gender imbalance. It’s mostly male.</p>
<p>Oberlin is indeed a wonderful school, though it offers neither business nor engineering, which are the 2 fields OP cited as of particular interest.</p>
<p>Millincad - Case does have more males than females, but they have been working hard balancing the two out. I think it is around 45% female to 55% males currently or maybe even better than that now.</p>
<p>I agree - Oberlin is a great school but not known for engineering or business. Miami U is known for business, but I am not sure that it offers engineering either.</p>
<p>Mominsearch, I just wanted to add something in your discussion with Monydad. The OP said his EFC is $100k, not his family income. Big difference. Someone with a family income of $100k could qualify for some need based aid. Noone with an EFC that high.</p>
<p>Erin’s Dad - I stand corrected (was at work not paying as much attention as I should have been). However, he could still get a merit scholarship & still pay less than you would at a state school:)</p>
<p>Well, OHKID, Cornell would be within your 7-hour limit, it’s an excellent school with broad programs, and I happen to know no fewer than 3 outstandingly good-looking–honestly! :)-- and smart girls who started there this year. All of whom are planning to major in a science. ;)</p>
<p>I’m thinking that if Cornell is close enough, so is the University of Rochester. I know Rochester has excellent programs in engineering, the sciences, and the humanities, but I don’t know about business. If economics undergrad with an MBA were a possibility, it would be excellent.</p>
<p>BTW, I’m impressed by the calm way you reacted to my yelling at you. Obviously there’s hope for you after all! :D</p>
<p>Ohio State- Good engineering, good buisness, short drive, gives pretty good merit aid.
Case Western also gives merit aid and has a good reputation.</p>
<p>U of M gives awful aid to out of state students and few to no opportunities to make up for this with merit based scholarships.</p>
<p>Im from Ohio too and if your looking at business, hot girls, and cheap (in state) i would definitely look at Miami University. their business program is ranked in the top 20.</p>
