Cornell is 43; Michigan is 19.

Georgia State University is ranked 2d in best undergrad teaching. So I assume you would clearly send your kid to GSU over Michigan, right?

My point is simply that Cornell isn’t unequivocally better than Michigan. I would absolutely send my kid to GA State if she wanted to go.

You would send your kid to a poorly ranked HBCU just to make a point???

What point would I be making?

Also, racist much?

Not racist. GA state is a hard no for us but Howard, Spellman and Moorehouse were considered. Kids went top 10 to schools scoring high in every survey but teaching. So not racist at all. But GA State a very hard no.

Cool story.

most AA families in the DMV consider HBCUs and other schools. Big3 send AA grads to HBCUs every year and many could go top 50. Some can go top 10

I haven't read through all the responses, but I went to Michigan and I say go to Cornell.

Agreed
Michigan grad who thinks you should go to Cornell.

The notion that these two places are comparable in undergraduate quality is laughable. Michigan is pretty darn easy to get into in state.

It’s cute you think acceptance rate is a proxy for quality.

So true!!!

I went to Cornell and say go to whichever school she feels most comfortable at. The difference between these two quality-wise is so small as to be irrelevant.

Basically, it is a survey that asks people that don't teach to rank the teaching at schools all across the country, across all departments.

Fellow Cornellian here who agrees. Cornell is a good school for someone who is driven and knows what they want out of their school experience. It’s not so great for a kid who’s a bit lost or still finding themselves. No idea how well Michigan serves that kind of kid. But if I could go back and talk to 18 year old me, I might steer her in another direction.

So instead of listening to provosts and people who work in higher ed, we should listen to randos on the Internet?

Actually Georgia State is considered one of those punching above it’s weight schools in higher ed policy circles. It has large numbers of racially diverse, first generation, and Pell grant students and it’s graduation rate is markedly higher than solitary colleges. Not everyone gets to choose between an ivy and top 10 flagship and I’m glad there are public colleges like Georgia state out there transforming ppls lives.

Me too! But still a hard no for us. There is no racism or conflict with what you said.

Oh I see. So you admit it's a great school, but it's still "a hard no" for you.
