<p>I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but what about those IUPUI or IUPUFW schools? I know they offer degrees from either Purdue or IU, but could anyone fill us in on their accompanying reputation from obtaining a degree from there?</p>
<p>After looking at a few stats of those schools, I would not want to go their. Primarily because there are 97% of in state students. For a person who is comming from out of state, that does not look to good unless I was trying to transfer into a main campus of that university, in which I am not trying to do. But I do like the fact that you gave me two new schools that I have again not heard of, which is what I am looking for. The search continues...</p>
<p>This may be a ridiculous question (and I may've missed the answer...), but why not IU?</p>
<p>Other similar quality schools--Iowa, Mich State, Minnesota, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, Pitt, Texas AM, U Washington, Florida, UC Boulder, Kansas, UCSB, Maryland.</p>
<p>barrons is right... Michigan State is very similar.</p>
<p>just 2x as big (or so)</p>
<p>Hardly--27,000+ vs 32,000+</p>
<p>That's still a good difference. Also, I think MSU is closer to 36K and IU is closer to 30K.</p>
<p>You would not notice it walking around campus. After the first 25,000 or so they are all big schools. Those are the 2006 numbers for undergrads full-time.</p>

Take out Penn State, Washington, Florida, UCSB, and Maryland.</p>
<p>Those schools are much harder to get into than Indiana. Also, UCSB doesn't have a business program - they have business economics.</p>
<p>For business... Indiana is very strong and very selective (1220+ SAT). Its reputation is much stronger in the Chicago area than that of NYC. </p>
<p>Overall, though, Indiana is one of the least selective major public research universities in the country, indicating the caliber of students it attracts:</p>
<pre><code> Indiana (1st #'s) UConn (2nd #'s)
</code></pre>
<p>Acceptance Rate 85% 51%
Top 10% of High School Class: 25% 37%
Top 25% of High School Class: 57% 80%
Top 50% of High School Class: 94% 98%
SAT Range 990-1230 1090-1280</p>
<p>Princeton Review Selectivity Rating 80 88</p>
<p>Employers look heavily upon these US News figures, as they indicate the quality of the university's student body. Indiana does not have the high caliber students that a UConn has, but Michigan State, though, does.</p>

<p>hahahhahahah that's so untrue it's ridiculous.</p>
<p>Indiana's students (minus biz) are equal to those of UConn and MSU. Overall though, Indiana has better programs than either of them.</p>

<p>You're a big boy.....defend your argument. My argument is sound.</p>
<p>I don't know why people are still arguing. If you wanna do Finance, go to IU Kelley. </p>
<p>W T F is UConn? Never heard of it. :)</p>
<p>UConn's a good school bro, but stop with the obvious biases. It's no Ivy (as much as I hate making that statement)...</p>
<p>But UConn does not have the quality of profs or facilities that IU has. I don't worry that much about about admissions stats. IU has lots of Top 20 programs from Music to Psychology and Sociology. It's easier to get into because it is a big school in a small state with another good big school-Purdue. Graduating is another matter.</p>
<p>Stop running around the argument....defend it! Come on.....and please, you have an equal bias for Indiana.</p>
<p>Actually, I dont. I dont attend IU...</p>
<p>Professors... I dk...I don't plan on staying up all night to compare the two. Facilities?! UConn has amazing facilities ever since its $2.3 billion endowment by the state.........and please do not use Purdue as a cop out.... Indiana's population is twice that of CT's.</p>
<p>Then why are you so driven on the subject? You don't have to attend the school to be biased.</p>
