<p>Hey guys,
Just found this on TheU.com
It gives you an idea of the academic rigor and applicant competition; I pulled up the stats for these institutions for a poster on the School Selection forum (who was debating between these three). These are some of the best universities- if not THE BEST- for the midwest. Nationally, they are all ranked highly (Top 15), for those of you who are curious.</p>
