If his dream school is Michigan, pretty sure he doesn't mind the cold.

Michigan is cold, but not Wisconsin cold.

I did my undergrad at UW and my grad at UMich. The temps are the same, but it’s cloudier in MI. Other parts of Wisconsin are colder, but Madison is pretty far south. I loved UW and Madison, but as the pp said, it is blindingly white.

Lots of Chinese in the engineering school.

I'd also add that I ran into several UW students when recruiting on Wall Street, at the Super Days.

I didn't say they did. But on average, the recruited athlete at UW has a much higher threshold for admissions than just about any school in the P5 except Stanford, Northwestern and maybe Vanderbilt. Despite that, the department has maintained a level of excellence in certain sports including the income generating football, Men's basketball and women's hockey and volleyball.

Football
Volleyball
Men's hockey
Women's hockey
Men's basketball

All ranked in the top 10. No other school can say that
16 post season bowl appearances in a row
19 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances

I forgot about the muppets! Thanks for reminding me of the incredible impact of U. MD and the sad legacy of all the VA schools!

None of the things you mention can compensate for the tears falling from the embarrassed eyes of mothers having to mumble, under their breath, he, uh, he, uh, goes to ...Maryla nd.

You must really feel embarrassed when you use google , buy something with a bar code on it, kids watch muppets, have anything with Underarmour in it, watch a weather report with radar, go to a stadium with a Jumbotron , drive a car with octane gasoline or a hybrid engine, have your dads defribulator restart his heart, use the pill... You are just making U.MD more arrogant and in control of your life!

We don't need anything from the Va schools. Their alumni could vanish and nobody unrelated would notice.


This is fun!!

Always yapping about the Under Armour are those U.MD people. It must be great when your most recent claim to fame is overpriced underwear.

Actually, I think the most recent cultural / economic stunner is Oculus Rift.

You have to be really smart and accomplished to get in. I doubt that you would make the cut.

Yes and GA Tech - I forgot about them.

And to the 'special waivers" it isn't for GPA or ACT but rather the UW has an entry language requirement that all Wisconsin high schools have as core curriculum,but out of state athletes may not have to fulfill. So on occasion, the admissions office may grant a waiver for circumstances. I can name 5 very high level recruits in football and basketball over the last two cycles where admissions didn't grant the waiver, so it is very very rare.

And duke and boston college and wake forest and blah, blah, blah. Who cares about athletics? Wisco is a clown school on a lake somewhere in the midwest.

What illustrious school did you go to? You sound so intelligent and well-informed.

You clearly have never spent a winter there. Dreary doesn't not describe it at all. Sunny and brisk might be better.

Snowy and icy, yes. Dreary, no way. I had way too much fun as a fifth year senior.
