[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These school are too big for any institution-wide rating to mean much. There are programs for which Mich State is better than UMich even if most UMich programs are, between those two schools, better. [/quote]

This is correct.[/quote]

Still waiting for someone to list the programs that are stronger at Michigan State than Michigan.[/quote]

I'm a Michigan grad and seriously, rating Michigan's accounting program over the one at MSU, or marketing, is ridiculous. MSU also has a great industrial psychology program and Michigan does not.

But I wonder why UCLA is higher rated than Michigan? Seems like splitting hairs.[/quote]

Perhaps because it’s been ranked by USNWR as the #1 public university in the country every year for almost a decade now?[/quote]

Is UCLA better than Michigan academically for undergrad?[/quote]
That’s what USNWR ranks. UCLA is also higher on nearly all global rankings, which primarily consider grad programs. Finally, rankings are dumb. [/quote]

UCLA is a great school but I wonder how much it is boosted in US News by its social mobility score.   Michigan has more kids from high-income families so they probably don't do well on that part of the ranking.[/quote]
