<p>HARDEST Northwestern
UMich
UW-Madison
UIUC

EASIEST U Iowa</p>

<p>doesnt indiana have a REALLY good school of business? For a public that is, i would assume it would be about like LuckyStarBoy had them to start with</p>

4

<p>To get into IU non-business is not very hard. I think 170 of 180 kids from my school who applied there were accepted. I agree with jec.</p>

<p>Don't know why Minnesota was left out, but I'd probably put it right after Ohio State.</p>

5

<p>Don't know why Minnesota was left out</p>

<p>Because he forgot the Big 10 has 11 teams</p>

6

<p>^ And the UAA....AKA "Nerdy Nine" league has only 8 teams :)</p>

7

<p>Northwestern
Michigan
Wisconsin
Illinois
Ohio State/Penn State
Minnesota/Purdue
Iowa
Michigan State
Indiana</p>

<p>I agree with jec7483.</p>

<p>how come is Michigan hardest to get into ? Are Ivies supposed to be the hardest ones ?</p>

11

<p>dracula, please remove your teeth and type properly. I don't understand your question.</p>

12

<p>^ oh my god. lmao.</p>

13

<p>lol if I removed my teeth I wouldn't scare any hot girls anymore :P
the list #1 and #2 start with the Hardest and end with the Easiest. So I wonder why UMich is tough and Ivies are supposed to be the top hardest colleges to get into. Is that clear enough ?</p>

14

<p>^I think you misunderstood. This is about schools in the Big Ten conference.</p>

15

<p>lol maybe my mind is too narrow. can anyone tell me what we are talking about :P</p>

16

<p>The Big Ten is a group of schools that compete with each other in sports, like the Ivy League</p>

17

<p>There are athletic conferences. Ivy League, Big 10, Pacific 10, Mid-America Conference, Atlantic Coastal Conference, etc.</p>

<p>the big 10 is a conference of 11 midwestern schools. a good portion of them have highly respected engineering and business programs.</p>

18

<p>The conference is made up of 11 teams and is mainly composed of schools that are "public ivies". I believe Purdue was the only school to not make the public ivies list and northwestern is obviously private. You definitely had me a little confused there.</p>

19

<p>Never understood the point of calling schools 'Public Ivies', 'Little Ivies', or 'Southern Ivies'. Why compare everything to the Ivy League? Last I checked, the University of Iowa was about as different from Columbia as it gets.</p>

20

<p>They are called public ivies because they, "provide an Ivy League collegiate experience at a public school price." </p>

<p>Did you fly down to Iowa from WI for classes? You will probably have a better grasp of college once you actually get there.</p>
