[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No disrespect to Miami, it's a fine school with great Alumni.

I am from Ohio. The colleges have completely changed from the mid 1990s to now. Miami in the 1980s-1990s was at the top, hard to get into, the #1 public college in Ohio. Now, Ohio State is #1, the University of Cincinnati #2. Miami's acceptance rate is over 80 percent.

My daughter toured in 2024. We wanted her to love it (close to family, good merit aid), but she hated it. There is little or no diversity there. The campus is in the middle of nowhere, and the tour kept reinforcing the "middle of the cornfield" stuff.

Many kids from NOVA have no desire to go to Ohio- it's COLD, and the political climate is very MAGA. (Some people like this, but for many, this is not a huge selling point for many NOVA kids.)[/quote]

I remember when Miami was more competitive and well-regarded and was curious why it's fallen in rankings and desirability. Is it mostly because the bigger sports publics are overall more popular now? [/quote]
