Ohio U offered my D, a low-end B+ student, but with a higher ACT score, way more merit money than we expected. We were pleasantly surprised. She basically would have paid in-state tuition there…
It ended up being about 7-8k cheaper than our flagship in IL.
Like I said, she is a B student - I can only imagine what students with higher GPAs and test scores than hers would be offered, likely close to full tuition. Pretty good deal, and the campus and town are beautiful. The school itself seems to have a lot to offer.
Alas, she has decided to attend another school (another OOS public, about the same size and price) but Ohio U was a very close second.
