<p>I know that sh60614 isn’t posting anymore, but for anybody else who is interested, here are my sources from the OSU website. I wonder why they are publishing inaccurate info (in one place or the other.) </p>
<p>Class of 2006 profile, OSU:
<a href=“http://www.undergrad.osu.edu/domesticfreshman.html[/url]”>http://www.undergrad.osu.edu/domesticfreshman.html</a></p>
<p>On that page, you can type a question - I typed “profile class 2007” and get a page I can’t link to, that includes a link for diversity. On that page, I get this direct quote from OSU’s site concerning class of 2005:</p>

<p>Weird. Or is there really such a big difference between the class of 2005 and the class of 2006? </p>
<p>For people reading this thread wishing to explore all aspects of Miami, this is a good place to say, as has been said multiple times, that different schools fit different people. If Miami is a fit for you, you will find a lot to love. As sh60614 says, look specifically at your major, and what is offered to the students, and if it fits what you want. All the engineering or Chinese expertise in the world is not going to guarantee my D an excellent violin teacher, for example. My D started classes this week, and has no class over 30 people. That works well for her personality and learning style. My S, who went to an Ivy, had world famous teachers, but sat so far back in classes of 200 that those teachers never even made eye contact. (Which was fine with what my S wanted.) I am extremely grateful that there are enough schools in the US to find good matches for all 3 of my kids.</p>
<p>To get to the truth about any school, visit, talk to people who have actually gone there, and people who are going there. It also can help to talk to people who were admitted and chose to go elsewhere and see if their priorities are also yours. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, be suspicious of people who never applied, never attended, and have only second and third hand anecdotes about it - especially if they are only negative ones. This is true for any school you are considering. Including OSU.</p>
