<p>Both of my brothers went to OSU for engineering. My older brother graduated a year ago and was able to find a very good job in his field, industrial engineering, as well as a few internships before he graduated. My younger brother just finished his freshman year as a CSE major, and was in FEH (freshman engineering honors program). Both of them had very positive experiences at OSU, and were happy there. </p>
<p>I think the recruiting that goes on at OSU is a very convincing argument to attend. The career fairs are enormous, and major companies both regionally and across the U.S. show up to recruit engineering students for both internships/ co-ops and full-time jobs. Many companies do on-campus interviews and information sessions to try to attract good job candidates. I can’t speak to what recruiting is like at Miami or UD, but I doubt they are able to attract anywhere close to the same number of companies. </p>
<p>The FEH program is also pretty great–the new freshmen meet a lot of other engineering students and work together in many of their classes. There is an annual robot-building competition that many of them take as a class. </p>
<p>The automatic merit scholarships OSU offers are fairly good too: [url=<a href=“Merit-based scholarships - The Ohio State University”>Merit-based scholarships - The Ohio State University]Scholarships[/url</a>] </p>
<p>The Maximus scholarship for $5k a year is awarded to students with an ACT score of at least 32 and a class rank within the top 3%.</p>
<p>The Provost scholarship for $3k a year is awarded to students with an ACT score of at least 29 and a class rank within the top 10%.</p>
<p>The Trustees scholarship for $2k a yer is awarded to students with an ACT score of at least 28 and a class rank within the top 20%.</p>
