[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM loves to quote USNWR stats. Well look at this one:

https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/undergraduate-teaching

Even here Michigan is top 20. #13 actually. So not “many schools” have better undergraduate quality than Michigan. Michigan has virtually no weakness as an academic institution.  Yes even comparable to most of the Ivies.

How ironic that W&M is ranked several spots better than Michigan in the ranking you linked.[/quote]

Yeah, but W&M is not also a world-class research university.[/quote]

OP's daughter will be an undergraduate, not a professional researcher at this point. 
+1

[b]They are rated equally for undergraduate instruction[/b]. Go to Michigan which is a world class research university as well.[/quote]

Equal?  W&M is rated higher for undergraduate teaching in USNWR and professors are also rated higher for being approachable and helpful, interesting, passionate, concerned with student success, easy to understand, and putting effort into their classes in both Niche and Princeton Review.  W&M also has no classes taught by Teaching Assistants as the primary instructor vs 11% at Michigan.  W&M also has a better student to faculty ratio.  [/quote]
