<p>I am wondering what is more important for undergraduate students to choose a university, the overall ranking of the university, or the major rankings? For example, the supply chain management of michigan state ranks #2 in the united States, while the supply chain major of university of michigan ranks #7 in the United States. Which university should i go for? University of michigan or michigan state university? the overall ranking of university of michigan is way higher than michigan state. So, is it wise for me to transfer from michigan state to university of michigan for supply chain?</p>
<p>If I were in your situation, I'd pick U of M because the recruiting there is going to be better than at MSU. Basically, f you're looking for an uber-competitive finance job, consulting, IB or whatever, then U of M is probably the place to go. If not, then I'd pick whichever school you like more.</p>
<p>Also consider if you think you may change majors. If you do, you don't want to be stuck at MSU if UM is better at the other things.</p>
<p>But, do you guys think that the students in u of m is much better than the students in michigan state?</p>
<p>There are smart kids at every college. I suggest visiting the colleges that you're considering and choose based on the bottom line cost and feel of the campus (meaning social feel, community feel, and general feel for the student population). Your future depends more on what you put into the college rather than any ranking. Make your choice on the best fit for you rather than college ranking.</p>
<p>Unless you're vying for an ultra-competitive field, the U.S. news report ranking isn't all that important..Michigan State has an excellent supply management program. Are you unhappy with the student body at MSU, or are you just looking for something "better"? This might not be a good reason to transfer. I would talk to the advising office at MSU about job placement (in SCM), and maybe call UM to ask the same type of questions.</p>
