We are in CA and my son applied to OSU as his safety… but he ended up falling in love with the school and almost ended up going there even though he also got into a lot of schools with much lower acceptance rate. OSU is an excellent school for engineering and the sciences, and it’s a great deal financially for an in-state student such as your daughter. Another advantage to OSU is that it is not difficult to switch majors between engineering and sciences, compared to some of the other schools on your list (like the UCs) which restrict major changes.
Anyway, I know your daughter is already planning to apply to OSU as a safety… but along with that, I’d strongly suggest she apply to the OSU honors program and spend some time writing a good essay (this program requires a unique essay). OSU has a great honors program which offers small classes, great access to professors and research opportunities, and an honors thesis for every student.
