Not the other poster but no one is for censorship. What we are for is a return to serious college discussion instead of so much ridiculous banter, obvious sock-puppeting, and questionable threads that belong in gossip rags.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Grad student who currently attends Michigan and is very familiar with the undergraduate population.

But I will admit that Ivy League on a resume helps for a variety of reasons.
Why are you on a forum for DC moms and dads?
DCUM is not restricted to the DC area. Are you for censorship?

Seems like you haunt college confidential also since you are so familiar with its workings.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Grad student who currently attends Michigan and is very familiar with the undergraduate population.

Sounds like this nut that lives on college confidential with tens of thousands of posts. She has a pit bull avatar.

Sorry, but the idea that Michigan is better than any of those schools is unthinkable. Nice try, though.

Not saying they are. My point is that with all the resources Michigan has, I doubt those three schools have an advantage.
Keep in mind that a top ten grad department is totally different from a top undergrad department. I went to a grad program similar to Michigan - top ten in my field. The undergrads definitely did not benefit from the things that made the department great. They were taught by adjuncts and older faculty who were no longer cutting edge researchers. Some of those men were excellent teachers (adjuncts were too sometimes, and even women!) but they were NOT in any way responsible for the school's reputation. At my ivy alma mater -- one of those you criticize, we rarely had TAs. We were taught often by tenured and tenure-track professors.

Other than that, no--the top remaining publics, per US News, of UCLA, Michigan, UNC, and William and Mary--don't make the cut over any Ivy. YMMV.
Who does business undergrad??
