Who cares what some list says?  I assure you no one considers Michigan to be a peer institute to Harvard. [/quote]

It's not "some list." It's literally what HARVARD SAYS.

But who cares, right? All that matters is what an internet forum thinks -- not what Harvard says are its peer institutions. Of course, if Michigan wasn't on that list, you'd be touting it as evidence that Michigan is nowhere near Harvard's quality. [/quote]

My husband works in higher education, as does my sister (the latter as a professor). I can assure you people in academia absolutely consider Michigan and Berkeley peer institutions to Harvard. UVA is more dependent on discipline. UChicago is also considered a peer institution to any Ivy League school. When Ivy League professors look elsewhere for jobs, Michigan is absolutely on the table. Same for UChicago -- I know a political science professor there who recently went to Michigan.

These divisions you all like to pretend exist among these schools really aren't real. [/quote]
