<p>UT is cheaper for you and has the engineering you want. It djesnt make sense to pay more and not get what you want.</p>
<p>For engineering and business Michigan would be better, but it might not be worth it for you in your case.</p>
<p>I personally don’t see why you want to do petroleum or the dual BBA but its up to you.</p>
<p>If money inst an issue and Stanford has petroleum, and you get in, go there.</p>
<p>If money isn’t an issue and you don’t want petroleum, its between Stanford and Michigan.</p>
<p>If money is an issue go to UT (you said that was cheaper for youyou right?). Out of the 3 it’ll be the easiest to get into and it will have what you want.</p>
<p>Michigan and Texas are comparable for business and engineering. For petroleum Texas is better.</p>
<p>If you can go to Texas for cheap, do it!</p>
<p>Yankees20, ARE YOU HIGH?!? loljk i admit thats really prestigious, but not the best in the world, trophies dont really measure the overall greatness of an athletic “program” until a certain extent, for example Texas is the winningest program in football behind Michigan, the most college world series titles in the NCAA, and the most appearances and wins in the Cotton Bowl, i’d say that could stand up against pretty much every athletic program except maybe SEC football, Duke Basketball, etc.</p>
<p>Chapman is way too small to even be considered in this thread.</p>
<p>UVA is actually a school I would add to the list in this thread.</p>
<p>“I feel like everyone with a D1 program is saying their athletic program is “one of the best in the world” haha”</p>
<p>I think all the Minnesota supporters in this thread will freely admit that most Gopher sports have sucked recently.</p>
<p>OK, whatever, but if OP gets into Stanford and he can afford it he should go. I can’t see a logical person disagreeing with that.</p>
<p>If I could get into stanford I wouldn’t think twice, but they only accept around 25 transfers a year.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Duke basketball isn’t even the best program in its own state. ;)</p>
<p>^ heard you the first three times. Now shutup.</p>
<p>LOL^ but i think it is man theyve been pretty dominant ever since they started, but then again UNC had, Jordan… :O</p>
<p>Jamaica College wins this. Bo!</p>
<p>Yeah I’ll admit UNC is gonna be tank this year.</p>
<p>Duke is getting Austin Rivers this year. I wouldn’t count them out.</p>
<p>Austin Rivers will do more harm than good for the Blue Devils. Duke’s year to win it was 2011; I don’t see them making more noise in the tourney than they usually do this year. I’ll be disappointed with anything less than a Final Four from UNC though.</p>
<p>For 1-10 on USNWR:</p>
<p>Stanford
Northwestern
Duke</p>
<p>For 10-30:</p>
<p>Vanderbilt
UVA
USC
Georgetown
Michigan
UNC</p>
<p>For 31-50:</p>
<p>Boston College
UT-Austin
Wisconsin
Penn State
Miami</p>
<p>This is based on:</p>
<p>Nice campus
Good academics
Division I sports that are actually good
Campus life
Some have that large college feel, some have the quintessential Greek life, various social activities available, etc.</p>
<p>Why is the USNWR everyones bible?</p>
<p>Plus he is interested in Engineering and Business, so you need to adjust accordingly.</p>
<p>what about the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities ?</p>
<p>I feel like it’s kinda underrated but it’s such a good school!</p>
<p>-top notch academics
-diverse
-it’s in the CITIES!!!= which means there’s always something fun to do!
-BIG 10 sports …but I’ll admit that lately the UMN’s athletic programs suck…lol.</p>
<p>You just copy and pasted your early post lol</p>
<p>@Unoriginal, being a bit biased here, but even if you’re going off USNews, please don’t group BC with Penn State and Miami. They don’t deserve it.</p>
<p>I’m going to Columbia, and I’d definitely have to say UCLA</p>
