Will I get into Ohio State University???

College Search & Selection

<p>Hello all. I want to go to Ohio State University and study Operations Research at the Graduate Level. I have a Bachelor in math from California State University, Sacramento with a 3.24 GPA. I want to go to school in Ohio because I want to live somewhere new so I can reinvent myself and Ohio lets veterans pay In-state tuition.</p>

<p>I have a few questions for all who know anything about Ohio State University(OSU):</p>

<p>1) I plan on taking the GRE soon and getting my completed application to them mid Feb.; would you consider this applying late and will it hurt my chances of being admitted? Today is 1/06/2009.</p>

<p>2) How hard is it to get into their Industrial Engineering program--it is ranked #14 by US news.</p>

<p>3) Will I get in? How many students do they admit into the Industrial Engineering graduate program every year. </p>

<p>4) Is OSU as tight as I think it is.</p>

<p>P.S.--- I plan on contacting the dept. direct; I just want to get you opinions.</p>

<p>I've read a few of your posts and have a few things to say. First off, you have a degree in applied mathmatics which honestly isn't the worst off when applying for your Masters in engineering, since you obviously have just as strong or even a stronger math level then those students coming from undergrad engineering programs. I would see how you do on the GRE </p>

<p>As far as graduate school admission, deadlines tend to be later because the fact that many schools worry about undergraduate admissions before hand.</p>

<p>What other schools are you looking at applying to? I would recommend some of the schools that maybe have Masters as the top degree offered (Kettering, Rose Hulman, Bradley, etc.).</p>

<p>Ohio State's program is competitive but I wouldn't count you out.</p>
