@cypresspat - Yes, this is happening with my DD. She has near perfect stats (1580 SAT, 800 SATII, 4.0 GPA, Natl. Merit, etc.) and is applying to engineering at both Northwestern (ED) and OSU (EA)… I wouldn’t mind if she doesn’t get into NU ($70K with no merit given - yikes) so we can be unexpectedly wallet happy with OSU and merit aid - but alas it will probably be NU…

My son is so happy at OSU and many of the top students/athletes from his IL HS elected to go there as well… Every one of them is flourishing at OSU, so the school counselors continue to highly recommend OSU to students…

I’m not sure how OSU is trending in rankings, but I feel they are really attracting a lot of high quality IL students in recent years… High stat IL kids are picking OSU over Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, Penn, which I don’t think was happening as much in the past…
