How prestigious is Ohio State today?

I think that the main point is that OSU is a very good school. I don’t think that you need to be concerned about its prestige as long as it has a good program in the subject(s) that you want to study and it is affordable. A degree from OSU should be able to get you where you want to go.

I did my master’s degree at a very highly selective university. There were other students there in the same program who had done their undergrad all over the place. A large number had gone to their in-state public university. I didn’t happen to know anyone from Ohio, but I did know some very good, very strong students who had gone to in-state public schools that are ranked about the same or even very slightly lower than OSU. Of course they had all done very well as undergraduate students.

One thing about going to a large in-state public school, there will be a very wide range of students there. Some of them will be a lot like you. You might have to look at bit to find them, but they will be there.
