<p>pinnum,</p>
<p>With all due respect, I’ve lived in Asia (Taiwan & Japan), across the United States (CA, MI, OH, ME, MA, NY, IL) and now living in the most affluent area in downtown Chicago, chilling with NU medical/law students and interacting with Ivy alum on daily basis. Buckeye fans / alum are everywhere no matter where I live. I proudly wear my Buckeye shirt wherever I go and have received countless recognitions and praises. Thank God, I am a Buckeye! :p</p>
<p>Furthermore, I agree that GPA is relative, not really a good indicator in comparing the selectivity/quality of student body in general. Here is the more standardized score between Clarkson, Judson and Ohio State.</p>
<p>Clarkson (Admission 2011)</p>
<p>ACT Composite: 23/ 28
ACT English: 21 / 27
ACT Math: 24 / 29 </p>

<p>Judson (Admission 2011)</p>
<p>ACT Composite: 21 / 26

<p>Ohio State (Admission 2011)</p>
<p>ACT Composite: 26 / 30

<p>Nonetheless, I do agree that in terms of “value,” Ohio State is hard to beat as it offers excellent combination of academics and athletics with affordable tuition for OOS students thanks to the National Buckeye Scholarships ($48,000 for four years).</p>
