[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UT is in the same group as the second list of schools.

Berkeley/Michigan are in their own league.[/quote]

ok lets be real

Cal is in its own league

UT-A has markedly narrowed if not closed the gap with Michigan

tbh UT-Austin is a better overall experience than Michigan [/quote]

Let’s get real here.

First off,[b]Wisconsin isn’t elite[/b].  Saying that the top three publics are Berkeley, Michigan, and UCLA.  Texas won’t be at Michigans overall level until they get rid of their top 6% instate high school acceptance.  In the meantime, they still have to pass UNC, UVA, UCD, UCSD, and Florida to get to that elite level. Saying that UT-Austin is a better experience than Michigan is completely subjective, particularly for those students who have absolutely no desire to live in Texas. [/quote]

You are the only person in this thread who even mentioned wisconsin, you insane anti-Wisconsin troll.[/quote]

I think that was meant for ha ha’s. Wisconsin is vulnerable to a bit of mockery now since some people have died on the hill of insisting that it is still in the conversation for best public schools (it’s really not). I just took the Wisconsin reference as a joke.[/quote]

It still very much is. This is the same ignoramous who keep posting that because Wisconsin fell from 7 to 12 now it is somehow “dead”. It still has a peer assessment of 4.2 . It still has a 1.6 billion dollar budget. It still has a 6 year graduation rate of ~90% and a 4 year of ~77%. Its top employers consist of tech companies like Epic and Google.

All of these things are tangible, and relevant, metrics which place Wisconsin in the top 10 of public schools. Sure, the USNWR rankings might shift it down a few points, but that doesn’t mean it’s suddenly “worse” than new comer schools like UF/UC Davis/ UNC. Indeed, in those schools Wisconsin’s graduation rate and SAT splits are comparable or better. Then you need to consider that, especially in the stem side, Wisconsin simply outperforms those kinds of schools.

I don’t know what you have against Wisconsin, but your obsession for striking it down is somehow greater than my willingness to defend it. It lives in your head rent free to such an extent that you actually mention it when Wisconsin boosters weren’t even in thread.[/quote]
