[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did The University of Wisconsin get inserted into a conversation between NU and Michigan?   Michigan instate for Engineering gets my vote.  [/quote]

I think it is because the Michigan poster cannot fathom that in the midwest, Michigan is viewed as an equivalent to most of the other state flagships (adding Wisconsin to the above list) that is mostly recognized for having the best football.

Those out here who are spending 80K on out of state tuition for a public university because they were waitlisted at VT or UMD cannot fathom that while respected in the Midwest, Michigan is not.thought to be this untouchable school standing alone, and is mostly revered for football.[/quote]

Nobody said Michigan was untouchable in the Midwest among publics. It’s just generally acknowledged as the top state flagship in the region. Money talks, your hyperbolic statement aside. Michigan gets 80K from OOS because it can. Wisconsin could only dream about getting  that level of OOS tuition.  They even have a reciprocal tuition agreement with Minnesota because they aren’t able to pull in top dollar from that state.   Michigan does no such thing. They don’t need to.  The biggest feeder state to Michigan, after California, is Illinois by the way.

Look at those Illinois numbers of students who refused to go with instate UIUC.  It’s not because most were rejected or waitlisted from their flagship. Illinois has an overall acceptance rate of 44%, and around 62% for instate alone, both much higher than Michigan.  Ohio is also among the top ten states sending students to Michigan. Mostly full pay too.
