[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Michigan's reputation and student population has eclipsed Madison quite a bit in recent years, while back in the 70's Michigan was more prestigious but Wisconsin was still a very strong choice with great departments. Today Wisconsin is not much differentiated from UT, UIUC, Washington, Maryland, and other state flagships.

[b]Wealthy[/b] students that from California and the Northeast/Atlantic will go to Michigan within if they don't get into Ivy+ schools (or UCB/UCLA for Cal residents), while Wisconsin is more of a destination for good but not great out-of-state students i.e. B+ students with slightly above-average rigor classes. Michigan has much greater reach internationally and attracts top international students as well.

Of course if there is a locational preference, that is important. But academics-wise, Michigan will be more academically focused while Wisconsin will be less so with a very large native Wisconsinite population.
