<p>Eternity, Michigan and MSU are not in the same league. MSU is certainly a respected university and Broad is a good B-School, but it is hardly comparable to Michigan. Perhaps to an uneducated person, the one is often confused for the other, but scholars and corporate recruiters differentiate between them with great ease. And as far as I know, IBanks do not recruit at MSU.</p>
<p>MSU has an excellent Hospitality Management program (second only to Cornell) and a highly ranked Supply Chain/Logistics Management, a program they pioneered. But the rest of Broad is not comparable to Ross.</p>
<p>A2Wolves, It's not gonna be that close this year. The boys will find a way to catch their quarterback.</p>
<p>Goblue, this year, the MSU game is played at East Lansing. If history has taught me anything, it is that MSU can always win in East Lansing...especially if their clock controller has a heartbeat! LOL I agree that Michigan should win, but MSU is 4-3 vs Michigan in East Lansing since 1990. They certainly know how to beat Michigan in their home turf!</p>
<p>Forget that, football is about Troy Smith and OSU!!</p>
<p>Academically though MSU (Broad) and OSU (Fischer) aren't close to Michigan (Ross).</p>
<p>Slipper, get with the program buddy! OSU went 8-4 in 2004. Michigan went 9-3, won the Big 10 title, and played in the Rose Bowl! Michigan rules the Big 10 in Football! Go blue baby! hehe</p>
<p>Why did MI lose to Texas in the sugar bowl? Surely, if it was the champion of the 'big ten', it could take out Texas?</p>
<p>The Big XII is as good as the Big 10 and Texas was one of the top 2 teams in the Big XII. Michigan was leading Texas 37-35 with less than a minute to go and lost on a 40 yard field goal which barely missed the hands of one of our leaping Safeties. And by the way, that was the Rose Bowl.</p>
<p>Because Texas got lucky. And it was the Rose Bowl. Something Ohio State hasn't seen in 8 years.</p>
<p>If I remember correctly (which I do) Alexandre, Michigan got their rear end handed to them by OSU, lol! I'd a worse record but winning the big game over the opposite any day!</p>
<p>That's the difference between Michigan and OSU fans. Michigan fans hate losing to OSU, but we would rather lose to OSU and win the Big 10 title than beat OSU but end up at some second rate Bowl game like the Alamo Bowl. Hehe</p>
<p>Well, I grew up in NJ and went to Uof M Ann Arbor. Let me add this:</p>
<p>You WILL visit NYC in your life.</p>
<p>You might not, otherwise, learn about the Midwest.</p>
<p>Attending Uof M is not only a great decision - it's just a greaaaatttttt school, but you'll learn a TON - do not underestimate this.....by living in a vital region of our country that you otherwise might not have.</p>
<p>Cheers.</p>
<p>Also a plus at Michigan will be the parties there. Coming from a school where we party every day of summer thats def a plus</p>
<p>Firstmom,</p>
<p>Forget learning about the midwest, its not that important. Much more important is having a true college experience. NYC you sort of miss out on fun laidback open lifestyle that really only happens during college. NYC will be there after you graduate.</p>
<p>I was just kidding when I brought up the fact that mich lost to texas - they're both equal in caliber (mich might be slightly better) so either team could have won.</p>
<p>However, what really suprises me is how OU was humiliated by USC. I mean OU was undefeated all year and they even have the best running-back and a previous heisman trophy winner for a QB. And they still got destroyed by the trojans.</p>
<p>I mean OU won every game it played - even in the enemy's turf when playing the biggest teams like texas, OSU, etc........it takes a superb team to play that way.</p>
<p>Then they get slaughtered by USC? What the **** happened? It doesn't make a shred of sense. Sure, I can understand if they lost by 10 points. Maybe even 15 points. But they lost by 36 points! That's ridiculous.</p>
<p>After OU lost to TCU at home yesterday, I have to wonder how legitimate were they last year?</p>
<p>Out of Ross, Stern, and Haas (UC Berkeley), which would be the best for undergraduate business? (OOS for all the two publics)</p>
<p>They are about the same.</p>
<p>Why not just go to Wharton?</p>
<p>"After OU lost to TCU at home yesterday, I have to wonder how legitimate were they last year?"</p>
<p>Fair question but recall that last year they actually had a (currently nonexistent) passing game, led by a Heisman winning quarterback. Now that their only attack is the run, and via Adrian Peterson, their team is so one-dimensional and as long as the D-coordinator focuses on stopping Peterson, so easy to contain.</p>
<p>Not to mention the key seniors they lost at other skill positions as well. Those seniors were largely responsible for OU in 2003 being hyped as the best college football team ever (remember that?), before of course, the post-season.</p>
<p>I'm only posting because of the ridiculous comments made by NYU stern man. </p>
<p>The truth is that the student bodies at UM and NYU are extremely comparable. Medians for both schools are in the 1300's, so students at both schools tend to score between the 90-95th percentile on the SAT. </p>
<p>Secondly, there is simply no question that UM is a better univeristy overall, with better faculty, than NYU. They have a much stronger faculty, a much stronger reputation, and much stronger programs overall than NYU. NYU is a strong, top-50 school, but it's never been ranked in the top 25 by any respected ranking, while UM consistently is. Also, in terms of academic reptuation ratings, UM is consistently ranked comparably to the lower ivies, unlike NYU. </p>
<p>The above certainly carries over to the business schools, where UM is generally considered one of the top 10 programs in the country for MBA, with Stern somewhere outside the top 20. </p>
<p>In other words, NYU is a solid east-coast school if you want to study and work NYC. UM is a top national program for those who want untlimited national options. </p>
<p>I'm sure that NYUman will return with further nonsense, but anyone who looks at all the avaiable evidence will have to conclude that NYU is at best comparable to UM for business, and is probably a couple steps behind, despite being a solid business program overall.</p>
