If Wisconsin has a good state flagship, why can’t New Jersey or New York?

Maryland is 44th and on an upward trajectory. Not comparable, IMO.

You say not comparable but you'd be wrong. Both excellent state schools and each has it's strengths but neither is significantly superior to the other.

Are MCPS moms forgetting Maryland is only ranked where it is by Snoozefest News and Poor Report because of the recent methodology changes? In 2020 it was ranked #64. Remember that before you poo poo other state flagships like Maryland is any better. It's Stony Brook in College Park. Sorry.

NP. I'm a Stony Brook grad, my wife is a Maryland grad and the schools couldn't be more similar. In fact, Stony Brook's former president (Physicist John S. Toll) left Stony Brook to take over as Maryland's president. Before he was Stony Brook's president, he chaired the Physics and Astronomy department at...Maryland.

Wisconsin in the early 2000s became the it school for NE parents because their darlings couldn't cut it at state flagships or Ivies.

Wisconsin grew into a good business school from that with mommy and daddy in Chicago and NY networking for them.

Is Wisconsin worth it now OOS hell no not with the Trump administration destroying the economy. Financial stupidity if your kid gets into a state flagship as well.

Is it a fun school yes, are the kids smart yep are they as smart as Cornell kids not in any reality. Huge difference in job offers from WI vs Cornell.

You are living in the past. Wisconsin is hot among high schoolers. Cornell is the exact opposite. As for job opportunities, let the results speak for themself. We actively recruit Wisconsin grads.

What cheesehead planet are you living on? Here's some actual data. No one is picking U. Wisconsin over Cornell, unless they live in Wisconsin and it would save their parents a bundle on tuition.
Cornell acceptance rate: 7.36%
U. Wisconsin Madison rate: 43%

Out of state acceptance rates are roughly equivalent. That also isn’t a metric that means much. Compare the quality of graduates instead.

Out of state U Wisconsin Madison is 18%. On no cheesehead planet does that approach the 7% Cornell acceptance rate. And feel sure to provide data showing the quality of UW graduates vs. Cornell. But remember, most college graduates know that your opinion is not the same as data.

Can you provide any data that there is a meaningful difference in graduates? My firm has blacklisted Cornell from our recruitment program after multiple bad hires but is actively recruiting from Wisconsin. The job market is what matters.

Your anecdote does not equal to the job market. I can't believe I need to explain that to an adult, presumably one with a degree. All you have is an opinion...and not a particularly educated one at that. What is obvious is that it's a lot harder to get into Cornell than UW.

lol dude. Do you actually think any employer is making decisions based on the (small) differential?
