[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public university tiers are a fake construct beyond a flagship is a flagship. Same experience, same partying, same rah-rah sports, same rich kids in frat and sorority life, same smart kids at the top, somewhat unmotivated kids at the bottom, same career and grad school outcomes. If schools like Indiana, Alabama and Clemson offer your family a boatload of merit money take it. Michigan is not worth a premium. Nobody is impressed by Michigan undergrad no matter how many times insecure Michigan alums and parents parrot otherwise for years on end on every message board.[/quote]

I think you are wrong.  There are some publics - Cal-Berkeley, Michigan - a few others we can debate the list - that are viewed differently.  It probably does not end up making much of a difference for many students but it can.  Take one example - Michigan is probably in the top 5 schools in putting undergrads into Wall Street IB Analyst positions.  Now is that (or other examples) important to you - maybe maybe not.  But I don't think it's correct to say Michigan and Alabama are the same - nothing against Alabama.[/quote]
