@twoinanddone, to be fair, UMich, UW-Madison, and UT-Austin are a clear notch or two above any public in NYS or New England. Arguably any public north of VA.
And UF is getting close to UT-Austin/UW-Madison’s level now. Plus, when were you in FL? Because there sure seems to be a lot of FL kids on CC who want to go somewhere other than an FL public these days.
