UW Madison horribly underrated

[Anonymous]

In 2019, UW Madison’s business school was #7 public and #15 overall. That’s not slouchy.


“University of Wisconsin produced the most current fortune 500 CEOs” CNBC by Abigail Hess 11-29-18

Finance guys here want to argue about just the speciality of finance and ignore the rest of the university, I guess. That tracks with their personality. Just know that you Michigan finance guys are likely to be working for a Wisconsin CEO.

Most of the important people in the world all start from finance. The governor of New Jersey had no experience in politics, but won in thanks to his 23 year old Goldman Sachs paycheck. But hey if UW people are content with being noble savages that’s cool.

Ahem, most of the self-important people in the world started in finance.

I love you. I think PP was being sarcastic but kudos to both of you for bringing truth and wit to the thread.

This is irrelevant. UW has 30,000 below average students, ofc a handful are going to end up being successful. That has nothing to do with UW and everything to do with probability. Meanwhile, schools like the great Northwestern University produces as good or better numbers with 8,000 students. UW is such a bottom of the barrel massive factory state school.

Wow this post got 170 replies in less than one day…… Even if UW is theoretically underrated, you certainly can’t say it isn’t well known and popular/contentious. We’re not even in the Midwest, we’re in the east coast… I definitely see UW getting a rise in applications now.

Oh most definitely. Apparently I am the only non-toxic Michigan person here, but I think UW’s rise in popularity is great for the Midwest. I mean its rise produced epic systems and Google offices in Madison and Milwaukee. I think a big thing that will drive UW’s popularity is 1. It’s department rankings, especially graduate school 2. Climate Change. As the south/coasts become less and less hospitable, the most popular place to move to ( according to emigration data) is the Chicago-Milwaukee- Madison region (aka Great Lakes megalopolis). What the university of that area by sheer size and popularity? It’s pretty easily Madison.

Michigan is a LOT more jewish and Asian than Wisconsin…esp a lot more Jewish

How that matters to you and your kid is up to you

A lot of Wisconsin’s value is because of Madison

If it was in a less aesthetic place, it would be a lot less desired

Take psu for example

— it has a better engineering school, ug business school and ag school

But it’s brand is horrible and in the gutter so it’s looked at as a joke compared to Wisconsin

The original poster had repeatedly sock puppeted responses in this thread and changed identities between being a supporter of the University of Michigan and a supporter of the University of Wisconsin. Therefore, I am going to lock the thread.
