My daughter is in the same boat. Admitted direct to U of Iowa, but loves Ohio State. I am also worried about the stress of going through the application process again in less than a year. The one good thing about Ohio doing the application during the Freshman year is that if they don’t make it in they can then apply to the many other nursing schools that require applications be completed during their Sophomore year. We are really struggling with this decision. It is so frustrating how few they are accepting from their own pre- nursing program. I wish they would at least be given priority over students from other schools and that we would be looking at more like an 80% acceptance rate. Another issue with Iowa is the cost, because with merit money, it appears Iowa will cost about $5000 more per year. She is so in love with Ohio that she seems willing to risk it, and I actually do understand why she feels this way and with the additional cost at U of Iowa, it makes the risk easier to swallow.
