I love Ohio State and my child LOVES Ohio state. Can’t recommend it enough HOWEVER If your daughter is 100% sure on nursing she should absolutely not pass up direct entry. The medical fields with pre programs are HIGHLY competitive. I am in one of those professions and I always advise direct entry.
Niece opted for pre program (not OSU) but other large university. Every one of her friends she met in the program freshman year had to transfer junior year because they did not get in.
Another niece has tried for two years to get into an OT program to no avail.
Much easier to transfer out of a direct entry to another major but you can’t just transfer in. I recommend choosing direct entry and she will probably end up loving it. She could also try applying into Ohio States program sophomore year and if she gets in she can transfer and if she doesn’t nothing really lost cause she’s already in a program.
Good Luck
