The academics at Michigan are just as good as Duke and Northwestern, and certainly Notre Dame.

Almost as good. Different experience with 30k undergrads.

PA scores from USNWR

Michigan. 4.5
Duke 4.5
Northwestern 4.4

Notre Dame 4.2

Just as good…..

Never seen this metric. What exactly is it?

“Expert opinion: This is a measure of how a school is regarded by administrators at peer institutions on a peer assessment survey. A school's peer assessment score is determined by surveying presidents, provosts and deans of admissions, or officials in equivalent positions, at institutions in the school's ranking category.”

It's basically as useful as pre-season College Football rankings.

That’s fine, as long as you agree that USNWR rankings are just as useless.

Thanks for agreeing.
