There has to be some respect for academic hear, not acceptance rate.

Therefore

NW
Michigan/Wisconsin
Illinois/USC/Washington/UMD
Rutgers/Penn State/Purdue/Minn
Indiana/MSU
Iowa/Nebraska

My rankings give credence to graduate schools and undergraduate schools. Maybe, if you were ranking just on prestige/selectivity, then your rankings would work. If you want to know “what’s the best schools my kid can go to” use my rankings.

UCLA?

yeah where is UCLA, the # 1 public in the nation?

I love the confidence. I’m sure you’ve done the research, crunched the numbers, and thought long and hard about this important issue.

UW Madison=TTT (third tier toilet). Graduate schools don’t matter.

Lol. Only on DCUM do people think bachelor’s degrees are the be-all and end-all. I swear half of the posters here are undergrad students without social lives.

Wisconsin boosters have become more irrational and aggressive.

Johns Hopkins is not better than Northwestern. And it's not really in the Big Ten.

Hopkins the number 1 research institution in the country by far and much more important to the United States than NU.

And yet for all its research prowess, barring biomed/premed its undergrad quality and outcomes don't match Northwestern's.

Just looking at this list … the Big Ten has really done things right. What a bunch of great schools. The research giants of UCLA, Michigan, Wisconsin, Washington, UMD and big budgets of most of the rest is really powerful. Associate member Hopkins is the biggest by far. There is a definite theme and blueprint.

Makes me wonder if they expand by two… would they rather have UNC and Duke for research or Notre Dame, Arizona/Colorado for TV football .. mountain zone programming, easier travel for sports

IMO, Notre Dame and either UNC or GA Tech.

Johns Hopkins is not better than Northwestern. And it's not really in the Big Ten.

It is by virtual of being a part of the academic alliance through its Lacrosse program.

It’s not though. Chicago (which was an OG Big Ten school) is part of the Big Ten Academic Alliance but Hopkins is not.

Umd incoming SAT/ACT higher than all except NU, USC, Michigan and UCLA.

In engineering, UMD is higher than most on this list (except Purdue, UIUC)

Don’t sleep on UMN!

Chicago is no longer a member.

Simple---Northwestern is at the top. That is a no-brainer.

After that, who cares
