University of Florida
Out of state
Pros
  • Relatively affordable - can apply for residency after a year
  • Great weather
  • Smaller class size
Cons
  • The interview was over zoom - haven't seen the facilities
  • Not sure what Gainesville is like
The Ohio State University
In state
Pros
  • Familiar with the area and Columbus is a great city
  • Recently remodeled school and facilities
  • Also on the cheaper side
Cons
  • Weather
  • A lot of currents students mentioned there is a shortage of faculty
Both schools are around the same price once you factor in a residency change. I'm really on the fence and not leaning towards either. Thanks for any help!
 
OSU is a great school. I would go to OSU due to lower cost, great education, and you are familiar with the area which makes it easy

U of Florida has higher admissions standards than Ohio State U. U Florida has better DAT and GPA averages. They also accept a lot less students (Acceptance Rate), which is generally a good sign.
 
A good sign for what?
Better schools are able to be more selective in their application process. Worse schools accept inferior candidates and more candidates b/c they know most of them won't accept their offer.

Although there is no publicly available data on this, I would bet that schools with higher DAT/GPA averages send more students to specialty programs.
 
Thank you.
