<p>That’s an unfair comparison since Michigan Med is obviously going to favor its own undergrads. I provided a third-party top medical school as a basis of comparison because of my disposition to fairness.</p>
<p>If you consider that Notre Dame has a significantly smaller undergraduate population, the success of its graduates is even more impressive.</p>

Michigan barely edges out Notre Dame here and that’s with the help of Michigan Law to boost its graduates’ placement.</p>
<p>According to WSJ,</p>
<p>But what about state schools? Parents have always fretted over whether sending kids to less-expensive schools would hurt their postgraduate chances. According to our survey, only Michigan made the top 30, and that’s with the help of Michigan Law, one of our 15 elites, taking more than five dozen Wolverines in this fall’s class. Among the other well-known names, Virginia was 33, Berkeley came in at 41 and UCLA was 61. “They seem a little reluctant to visit,” says advisor Glenn Cummings at the University of Virginia, who says three top law schools he invited to come meet students this year never got back to him.</p>
<p>It’s pretty arbitrary that they chose Michigan Law to be honest instead of Stanford or NYU which are clearly better. According to this quote, over 60 Michigan students went to Michigan Law that year and if you subtract those, UM would not make the top 50 even.</p>
<p>Public schools in the country are overrated with regards to quality of undergraduate education and graduate school admissions officers know this.</p>
