<p>Wow, look at the virulent responses to any criticism of Miami. It’s almost cult-like. As for bashing Miami, yes I listed it in the overrated/underrated thread, but that’s the only thing that could be considered bashing unless you consider comparing admissions standards between Ohio State and Miami to also to be “bashing.” Then again, facts and truth tend to be rejected as bashing by kool-aid drinkers.</p>
<p>The OP was worried about the homogenous, snobby attitude of Miami students, and I simply commented that not only did I find it to be the case but have had it confirmed by several students who transferred out of Miami for that very reason. There’s a reason that most college guides mention it. There’s a reason that it’s a widely held view in Ohio. Because it’s true. Where there’s that much smoke, there’s surely some fire.</p>
<p>Also, that recruiting video is ridiculous and willfully disingenuous. Of course, there are some students at Miami who could have gone to those schools, but the video makes it seem as though Miami is crawling with them. Well, the more of them that are at Miami means the more substandard students that also must be there to bring the overall numbers down to this.</p>

<p>The fact is that Ohio State has passed Miami by for admissions selectivity, and the gap is widening every year. Perhaps Mother Miami should add some kids to that video talking about how they “could” have gone to Ohio State. That would be a lot more accurate.</p>
