<p>Hey Georgetown was a number 7 seed this year...how ironic...</p>
<p>First of all I am not 15. I am turning 17 pretty soon. Second of all, Biology belongs to Wisconsin by a mile, they are ranked in the top 10 in biology, wisconsin has math, and they have computer science. So, is that all you can tell me that they are better in. That means that wisconsin is better in everything else then which makes Wisconsin a better overall school.</p>
<p>guys you forget these are the undisputable rankings.</p>
<p>Wisconsin is in the top 10 nationally in Comp sci--Bill Gates dropped into a class called it one of his key schools for recruiting. It has far more depth in engineering, and sciences. It also has much better liberal arts and foreign languages. Then there are all the other things like communications, education, etc. Hard to compare a tiny UG school to a major founding AAU school.</p>
<p>well said barrons.</p>
<p>Wow.. we have Wisconsin trolls now? You guys are hilarious.. bring back that Northeastern guy and we can have a real party.</p>
<p>Fortunately there is no comparison between NEU and UW. UW was educating John Muir,Frank L. Wright, and Charles Lindbergh when NEU was in a single building by a trolley.</p>
<p>Yes but Northeastern has improved a lot since then. :) I think its acceptance rate is 42%.</p>
<p>You guys miss the point, we aren't rating GRAD school.</p>
<p>The same people teach both at UW and you full access to all the same libraries and equipment. Many ug's take some of the grad courses while in UG.</p>
<p>Nobody gives a crap about stupid acceptance rate. Who do you think you are stupid kid. You call me a little kid. Someone who deals with numbers such as acceptance rates should not even be on this website. That is just childish. Acceptance rates show that they are tough to get into. Doesn't show crap. Look at Colorado Boulder. There acceptance rate is almost 90%. Does that mean that they suck. No, actually Boulder is better than any of the schools you've mentioned. Also, this is called an opinion. There is no such thing as the top 50 schools because it is based on opinion. Sure, you can say you base it off of numbers, but the types of numbers you choose are opinionated. So, base it kid, you're going nowhere with your argument and you think that you are right. Just give up.</p>
<p>Good job you totally fell for my sarcasm. You sure made yourself look good lol. Everyone knows how much I love northeastern /sarcasm.</p>
<p>Still, you talk about acceptance rate as if it totally matters.</p>
<p>The smiley face = sarcasm. It was for other people who know how much I find that northeastern troll amusing. :)</p>
<p>I didn't say acceptance rate mattered. I said selectivity and quality of student body mattered.</p>
<p>Thats pretty much the same thing. Those do not matter at all. And i could see your sarcasm, but I was talking mainly about your previous posts, and also people on your side.</p>
<p>That is not the same thing. If you think selectivity = acceptance rate you are seriously misguided.</p>
<p>I don't think that selectivity and acceptance rate are the same exact thing, i am saying that you can consider it the same thing when you are deciding how to rank schools, which means that you should not even consider it. Its like saying that your height determines how succesful you are in life. It just doesn't.</p>

Tell me what you think of it.</p>
<p>Look specifically at number 16. Oh yeah, you can't even find harvey mudd in the top 500.</p>
<p>The University of Wisconsin is a good school, no doubt. However, barrons would have you believe that it is one of the best schools in the country. While I would agree its graduate programs are extremely impressive, the argument that the grad programs' quality trickles down to undergrad isn't very convincing. I'm sure most people who've attended college at an institution with heavy emphasis placed on grad programs can attest to this through personal experience.</p>
