UW Madison horribly underrated

Look at the 15 year average for UW Madison for UMich in terms of these kinds of departments, even on US News UW averages out. But that makes sense, UW has much more noticeable alumni than UMich in virtually any field, including Sterling Professor of History David Blight and University Professor at Harvard Gary King. Umich doesn't really have any influential alumni in academia, largely because their entire L and S program is a fluke. Umich never was all that good at L and S programs, they simply hyperfocused on their business, law, and medical schools. Eventually that payed off for them, because they were able to grow their endowment to finance their L and S programs significantly over the last 10 years, while Wisconsin suffered budget cuts. Is it really a coincidence that Umich's school of education rose in from a rank of 11 in 2012 to 1 in 2023? Or history which went from 21 to 2 in the same year span? Or math which went from 18 to 11? Back in 2012, Wisc'a education rank was 1, history was 7, and math was 5. Ultimately, though, Wisconsin has always been the better university for well academics, while Umich has always been the professional school. Notable alumni lists between the schools speak for themselves.

So, you admit Wiscy is in a downward trend and Michigan is rising. I can agree with that.

In world university rankings Michigan also dominates Wisconsin.


ARWR THE QS

Michigan 26 23 33

Wisconsin 31 63 Gave up after 100

Hail, hail to Michigan, the Cesspool of the West.

Your jealousy is amusing.

Struck a nerve. Lol.

I agree that Wisconsin is a bit underrated, but it’s never going to be a top 20 let alone a top 25 school.

Compare OOS to in-state for admissions and you will come to a different conclusion.

You really want to go there? Texas is #32. Compare their oos rates and you will come to my conclusion. More importantly, the fact that Wisconsin accepts basically all of its in-state students does not speak highly of the school at the undergraduate level; it means, once again, that it is overrated.

Wisconsin’s in state acceptance is high because they have dozens of campuses. Only the top students are accepted to Madison.

Wrong. Madison has a 49% acceptance rate overall. Just Madison. The in-state acceptance rate is much, much higher…
If Wisconsin in-state students are getting in at a rate of 2 in 3 (or higher), might I suggest you revise your notion of “top student” a tad downward?

Might I suggest that you come down off of your snobby perch and revise your notion of your self-proclaimed superiority?

^^^a tad downward

As should Wisconsin and it’s backers!

“Good” is not the word you are looking for: you do not have to be a “good” student from Wisconsin to get into Madison. Maybe you’re “OK”?

Don’t get your Maize and Blue panties in a bind. You win, OK? Now take your little trophy and find something better to do with that exceptional Michigan education. Hail, hail.

You are responding to the wrong poster, one who could not care less about Michigan.

You don’t really have to be that much better to get accepted to Michigan from in-state. They are state schools for a reason.

Then tell us of your illustrious alma mater. I’m sure that it is “overrated” too.

By “we’re good,” I meant that we really don’t give a sh!t what you think.

Michigan is by far the better school because it has rich people. No one cares how smart the Wisconsin kids are, they are from rural farms mostly. Michigan kids however come from the east or wealthy suburbs, meaning they can actually have respectable jobs( like finance) and have meaningful lives. Sure wisc has more Nobels, but does that matter if you’re stuck on a farm??

Wisconsin is already top 20 by peer reputation

Ding, ding, ding. Most idiotic comment award (and that is truly saying something on this thread)!

Yeah, of course there are no farms in Michigan. Lol.
