<p>^^ Indeed, mom2collegekids!! :)</p>
<p>Nonetheless, could anyone here find me a Top-20 “Public” University at undergraduate level that offers International Students merit scholarship? Personally (and as an alumnus), I think $20,000 four–year value is truly a bargain given the overall academic reputation and alumni connection of Ohio State throughout the world.</p>
<p>“Top Universities by Reputation 2012” has Ohio State at around 50s in the entire globe, slightly ahead of USC in terms of world recognition / academic reputation. Not to mention that the school is destined to become a “Top-10 Public” by decade end according to its strategic plan; truly the best investment for anyone’s buck for both domestic and international prospective students imho.</p>
