[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]U of Minnesota, Twin Cities, is one of the top public institutions in the country. You can tell because it draws a lot of foreign students, like UCLA, UC Berkeley, UMichigan, University of Wisconsin at Madison. Minnesota is just below those schools.[/quote]

Nice try,[/quote]

Let's be nice, please.

No one cares about the opinion of one snotty teen.  OP asked for information about the school.  If you don't have something helpful to add, please scroll on by.

As a practical matter, there are real differences among how the different flagships run their schools.  "Best" in terms of selectivity isn't the only measure of how to choose one over the other.  UMN-TC does direct admits to the different colleges, with majors chosen within the college later based on the college's rules.  The UCs do direct admits to impacted majors, with is great if you know exactly what you want to do, not so great if you change your mind along the way.  UW-Madison doesn't do direct admits to the business school or the engineering school (the engineering answer is tricky). Newspaper reports describe the UC system and the UW system as cash strapped over the last bunch of years.  UMN-TC press about money has been better (except for recent increases in OOS tuition, which is a bummer). Which model is right for any given student is a matter of preference.  And yes, UMN-TC is highly regarded internationally.  [/quote]
