Shouldn’t all of this apply to MSU as well?

My daughter went to UVA. Her BFF went to Michigan because she didn’t get into UVA

True story. Happens all the time in VA

Not according to USNWR:

Michigan #16

UVA. #48

Just another area where Michigan excels

Best friends DD got waitlisted for UVA but in to Michigan she had moved into the dorm at Michigan when they got the call. DD went outside to think about it -came back in and said “UVA” and they packed her and moved her to UVA. She was very very happy at UVA

it’s a significant price difference with U Mich at $73k for OOS versus $37k UVA. That’s a $36k x 4 year differential.

Like UVA and VT. Where there are too similar options, one of them tends to rise above because successful people want to cluster together.

U Mich has the biggest endowment of any public university and they invest wisely.

U Mich AA has an astonishing array of research all in one campus while UC is spread over 10 campuses with some being much stronger in certain fields (eg Davis for vet science/ UCSB for physics/ etc)

Michigan is incredibly proud of its flagship and it shows in many ways.

I think California is also extremely proud of its U system.

Both systems are excellent engines for social mobility with emphasis on providing many opportunities for vets, first generation students and Hispanic/ minority students.

I really don’t think MSU and UofM are at all comparable
