[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]World university rankings: Michigan, 21; Wake Forest, 201.

Ah, I get it. So one publication ranks WF higher than UMich and that just can’t possibly be right, and one ranks UMich higher and, well, THAT one is obviously right.  Oookay. [/quote]

You’re arguing for USNWR ranking being right when every single Mich grad dept is ranked higher than Wake Forest and anyone would tell you Michigan has a better national reputation. Come on — only an idiot would think Wake Forest is better.[/quote]

o.k., USNWR is idiots then because they don't agree with you.  Maybe you could lay out your methodology. I'm sure they got credit for their "national reputation" but that didn't quite push it ahead of Wake.[/quote]

Most people consider grad dept rankings a proxy for the quality of undergrad academic opportunities in various disciplines. Michigan blows Wake Forest out of the water on that count. Its offerings are not only broader, but of vastly better quality.[/quote]

cool.  I'm sure they got credit for that too in the rankings.[/quote]
