[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a huge difference in the towns/campuses... WI is far superior in my opinion.[/quote]

There isn’t a huge difference in towns/campuses.  There is a difference in prestige however. Michigan easily wins in that regard. [/quote]

They're both T10 public universities. How is Michigan [i]significantly[/i] superior in prestige and why does that matter?[/quote]

DP.  I have family at both.  Michigan is a much higher ranked school in almost all disciplines [b]and is known internationally[/b].  Not so with Wisconsin.  Wisconsin is nothing to sneeze at obviously but they are not in the same tier.  One has an admit rate of 20% and the other 60%

Madison is a state capital, larger and has more to offer than Ann Arbor but not sure that would matter for a student.  But if that's a priority, then they should focus on Winsconsin.

And "How is Michigan [i]significantly[/i] superior in prestige and why does that matter?" is a great question for google. Not going to regurgitate common knowledge here.[/quote]

Agreed.  Granted as a Michigan alum I am more in tune with the maize and blue but I can't think of many places I have been where I have not bumped into a Michigan grad.  We are everywhere.  Wisconsin is a great school but not the same as Michigan.

Some of this will depend on what your student is looking for and what program they plan to join. [/quote]

Agree, however, the greater ubiquity of Michigan alums is largely attributable to the fact that Michigan adopted the 50% OOS model earlier in our lifespans. Now that Wisconsin has adopted the same model, Wisconsin alums are increasingly ubiquitous, and so this will be less of a distinction for the younger generation.

[b]Neither school has ED; if you like one, apply to both.[/b][/quote]

+1. OP, This is probably the best input on this thread.[/quote]
