The current rankings seem pretty fair and accurate to me. Michigan is an excellent school, and so is UVA. In that order. But it isn’t a contest between those two schools. Both are highly ranked and highly regarded schools that deserve to be in the top 25. End of story.


You just assume it’s a woman?

Yep. I still went to one of the top national universities on their list. And the very idea of “ranking” universities and colleges like a horse race is still ridiculous.

Reason 2: Michigan is really, really cold.


It really isn’t bad. Most people would rather take that over the location of UVA.

And yet, Michigan is widely considered the stronger school. The perception of UVA within the DMV is a bit out of touch with reality.



Uh no. And I work in the field of college admissions but do continued to entertain us with your poorly formulated analysis . Oh wait … there is no analysis in what you wrote above …..

You work in the field of college admissions? That too funny to even contemplate.

It is the post grad programs that matter most. U Mich has extremely strong post grad programs in a wide array of fields and the admit rates for many are in single digits.


That doesn't make up for the 40% undergrad acceptance rate


Except for the fact that Michigan has an overall acceptance rate of around 20%. SAT scores are always given in a range, not a single number. Your comments can’t be taken seriously because you don’t know what you’re talking about. Your figures on UVA are way off as well.

Dartmouth has been wildly overrated for a while, so this new ranking isn’t surprising to me.

Top 15 all look about accurate to me.
