<p>Sorry to continue the public ivy debate but...</p>

<p>Maryland is never mentioned as a public ivy, but it seems to fit amung the top public universities. I wouldn't compare it to UC Berkeley, but it's only a notch below UVa, which is considered a public ivy. It's also not far behind UNC Chapel Hill and Michigan. Some people mentioned Rutgers and UT Austin as public Ivies, and Maryland is more selective than both. I would probably put Maryland on the same notch as Illinois UC, again sometimes considered a public ivy. UM has some really good science, engineering, and business programs, is getting better each year, yet is never mentioned amung the top public schools.</p>

<p>Also, living in NYS, two SUNY schools call themselves public Ivies: Binghamton and Geneseo. Binghamton is a good school, but I'm not sure I would call it a public ivy. Geneseo however, is small, rural, and not as well known, but it's the most selective SUNY school. I think it should be considered a public ivy. What do you think about them?</p>

<p>I don’t think Texas is better than Illinois.</p>

5

<p>Texas is better all-around, program by program, with the exception of Engineering. Though UT’s engineering is still nice.</p>

<p>texas = overrated</p>

7

<p>Maryland is very good for economics, probably better than Texas just because it’s close to D.C.</p>

<p>pshh, Texas = underrated</p>
