UMich vs MSU vs UT Austin Plan II vs UIUC

Hi I was wondering which school is considered the best academically and the best overall? I only get in state at Michigan State (not UMich).
I’ll be majoring in bio (double majoring at ut)

Michigan is the best academically and overall, but out of state tuition is extremely high. If you are in-state for either UIUC or Texas, I would go there instead of Michigan and save the money.

I went to Michigan and I think it is excellent, but I’m just being realistic.

@ThankYouforHelp Even better than Plan II at UT?

For all of the universities listed, and if your family is not wealthy, if you have an in-state option, take it.

@TooOld4School $ is not an issue/ key deciding factor

Then I’d say Michigan>UT Plan II>UIUC regular>MSU . I’d give the edge to Ann Arbor and Austin as the better college towns. Michigan also has LSA honors, which I expect you would quality for as well since you did at UT.
