<p>@Beaudreau I asked my daughter if she had any insight into engineering program from friends, but she hasn’t met anyone in it during her first semester. Her STEM friends from high school that went the Ohio public university route seemed to veer toward Ohio State. Back in my day, a 2.5 and a pulse got you into OSU main campus, now it is the toughest Ohio public to get into, and has become strong competition for MU. I do think MU’s aggressive merit aid program can partially be attributed to having another state school seeking the best and brightest. </p>
<p>I hope you get a beautiful day to visit, but I think you’ll be impressed with MU rain or shine. I found Make it Miami to be a little impersonal, so hopefully your son can reach out to faculty ahead of time to schedule a private Q and A and possibly a tour from a current student.</p>
