Both Fair And Balanced
Only, again, it isn't because OSU is such a great undergraduate college by comparison. It isn't. It is because they have a far greater demand to get in largely due to their reputation in sports.According to BGSU's website, the 25th-75th percentile for ACT scores are 19-24. For Ohio State, it's a 26-30.
That isn't a slight difference. The top 25% of all students at BGSU would be fringe candidates at OSU-Columbus. Given the fact that OSU is the size of a small city, I'm sure there are hundreds of students, if not thousands, who have sub 23 ACTs, especially since the university is open enrollment for anybody who spends 3 quarters at a branch campus...but out of 50K, that shouldn't move the needle that much.
I'm not sure what that has to do with the NCAA and min. standards though.
Personally, I'd much rather go to any college where many of the classes don't look like this:
YMMV.
