The Best Choice?

<p>A2Wolves, that's just not true. Indiana in the US News outranks Wisconsin for Business, but other rankings, including specialities of the US News, gives Wisconsin the edge. In a great peer comparison, Wisconsin's business school and as an overall university, has produced more SP 500 CEOs than Indiana, tying with Harvard. There is no I-Banking or Consulting leg up on Wisconsin with new Wisconsin to Wall Street programs; 3/50 people in the 2nd semester Lehman Brothers IB internship this summer are Madison. More than Indiana. Music? That's a prestigious major to be ranked higher in, and journalism? That's ********. Every major study of journalism and communication programs has ranked Wisconsin in the top 10 nationally since the creation of rankings. It has one of the world's best comm research faculties, especially in political communications, and Madison pwns Bloomington for internships and writing opportunities, given the size and scope of the towns. Wisconsin State Journal, Cap Times, Badger Herald, Daily Cardinal, Mendota Beacon, Madison Observer, Madison Times, are just a sample of papers. So no, Indiana is not a better choice. As an overall university, Wisconsin is far more selective and seen on a different level. Indiana frequently functions as a safety school, has never crossed the US News top tier, is never in the top 10 of public universities, is not a top 5 research university, is not the 2nd best public university in having NAS faculty, and doesn't even have half of its class from the top 10% of their graduating HS classes.</p>
