<p>Absolutely correct TheLae. That was what I was trying to say in post #17. The USNWR undergraduate rankings are not real, they are not representative of quality or of what is generally known in academe or industry.</p>
<p>So tell me guys, in what way are ucla, vanderbilt and unc better than umich? Lol. USN rankings suck. UMich deserves a top 15 rank given that it is top ranked for every major</p>
<p>i think michigan has lay prestige, people are generally impressed when i tell them i went to michigan. And if you poll random people off the street to name the best 10 schools in the country, Michigan would easily make that top 10 list. It just has seen declining USNews follower prestige.</p>
<p>CaL, which is even more superlative across disciplines than Michigan, suffers the same fate at USNWR. Honestly, USNWR will eventually lose it’s cache. Every dog has it’s day.</p>
