Acorn Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 For someone interested in computer engineering or maybe electrical engineering, wants to stay around Ohio region, might be national merit semifinalist, good variety of extracurricular activities but not a great writer so not expecting scholarships based on essays. We know “we” want to see Ohio State Univ, Univ of Cinn, Miami Univ-Ohio, Purdue, and where else? Case Western, Rose Holman and Norte Dame are probably possible for admission but not tuition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Maybe Ohio Northern and Toledo? I'm not sure about Xavier's program... You've got a good list there already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) I would take a look at Toledo. They have a lot of different programs, and they are bit less competitive stats-wise then the ones you listed. Maybe BGSU. On Kassia's list, Ohio Northern and Xavier are both privates. Xavier doesn't really have a tech reputation. If you are okay with spending $$$, look at U Dayton over Xavier.

Surprisingly, Toledo was very stingy with merit aid when my kids applied there. They got better scholarships at Ohio State and other schools. But this was a long time ago. ETA - of course, Toledo would still be less than a private without scholarships. Edited February 13, 2023 by Kassia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised Ohio State gave good scholarships because they have so many students. What as the major that your child applied for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My twins applied to both OSU and University of Toledo for engineering (computer and electrical). They got better merit aid at OSU then Toledo, which we were really surprised about. But they graduated from high school 10 years ago so that was a long time ago! ETA - one of my sons applied to Pitt and was offered a full tuition scholarship, yet Toledo offered so little!

Cheaper to go to University of Pittsburgh than Toledo! He ended up going to OSU though and loved it. He's the kind of guy who would be happy anywhere though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrips Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I don’t see any Ohio schools on here, but this was a list someone compiled for NMFs. It may or may not be completely up to date, but the person posted it in 2022.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18kS6Se6yr3JTE_lBqWOoP5VaP6mBCqL7NY90ATlPmHU/htmlview 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
