<p>Wisconsin is 35% OOS. Most come from Ill, Minn, NY, Cal, NJ, Mass. Many internationals.</p>
<p>Berkeley
UMichigan
UVA
UNC-Chapel Hill
UCLA
W&M
UI-Urbana-Champaign
GA Tech</p>
<p>Not by my preference...just by what I think the best schools are.</p>
<p>Penn State ranked #48th in the NATION. </p>
<p>Better than, TEXAS and OHIO STATE, Maryland, Pitt and Florida. </p>
<p>Plus as I said, once I am there, it will most definetly SKY-ROCKET up a few places, Top 40 maybe????</p>
<p>Penn State's peer assessment rating is also 3 tenths of a point lower than Texas'.</p>

Michigan has 57% for all of Michigan, and 33% out of state
[/quote]
</p>
<p>that doesn't add up to 100%</p>
<p>and the VA schools are supposed to have a 2/3, 1/3 split.</p>
<p>and for kfc...</p>
<p>I've met people from all over the country, and internationals. Seems the out of states that are the most common are from the northeast, but that's also where population is concentrated.</p>
<p>Yeah Im surprised Penn State seems as being treated as a second rate public.....but anyways why should we rank? most of us will be biased anyways lol I think we should just take one of the earlier posts with all the good publics</p>
<p>that doesn't add up to 100%</p>
<p>The remaining 10% is internationals.</p>
<p>Michigan's geographic distributions:</p>
<p>UNDERGRADUATE:
65% Michigan
30% Other states (top 4 states are Illinois, New York, California and Texas)
5% international</p>
<p>GRADUATE:
25% Michigan
50% Other states
25% international</p>
<p>TOTAL:
50% Michigan
38% Other States
12% international</p>
<p>
Notice the lack of Ohio from that list. :)</p>
<p>How would everyone rank the undergrad poly sci programs for publics?</p>
<p>Not that I'm biased, but I've spent a bit of time abroad and out of the publics people have only heard of Berkeley and UCLA. I believe they've heard of Berkeley through THES rankings (which actually ranked Berkeley above Oxbridge last year)--which is mainly based on research, and they've heard of UCLA through Hollywood. </p>
<p>But, here's my list, trying to leave the bias out eh:</p>
<p>1) Berkeley
2) U Michigan, Ann Arbor
3) UVA
4) UCLA
5) No idea. I haven't heard of most of the list.</p>
<p>impossible to do on the poli sci comment on the undergraduate level.</p>
<p>I would argue that: UCB, Michigan, UVA, Wisconsin, UCSD have some of the strongest public programs.</p>
<p>Top Political Science programs at Public Universities:</p>
<h1>1 University of Michigan-Ann Arbor</h1>
<h1>2 University of California-Berkeley</h1>
<h1>3 University of California-Los Angeles</h1>
<h1>4 University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill</h1>
<h1>5 University of Wisconsin-Madison</h1>
<h1>6 University of California-San Diego</h1>
<h1>7 Michigan State University-East Lansing</h1>
<h1>8 Ohio State University-Columbus</h1>
<h1>9 University of Minnesota-Twin Cities</h1>
<p>This comment is going to enfuriate many Californians but I think beyond UC and UCLA, your schools are not that special, at least not highly regarded. If someone told me they went to UC-Davis, I would not think much of them and would compare that to someone going to UW-Eau Claire in Wisconsin, for instance. Just my opinion. People whose lists have 4 or 5 UC schools on the top 10 are very very biased and should know that here in the midwest, we don't care at all about your UC's besides Berkeley and UCLA.</p>
<p>nah, i dont think californians would be infuriated. its a subjective ranking. Where you grew up and your realities must take part in it.</p>
<p>For Political Science, I would rank the following:</p>
<p>Cal, UMich</p>
<p>UCSD, UCLA</p>
<p>Ohio, U-Wisc, UNC</p>
<p>how do they rank in undergrad business (especially finance)? i've already seen the us news ranking, but how about some of your own informed opinions? thanks</p>
<p>pretty stupid to rank, i doubt there is much difference between the departments at the undergrad level. Ranking wise, the best overall school wins.</p>
<ol>
<li>Berkeley</li>
<li>Umich</li>
<li>UVA</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
</ol>
<p>Here is what I think for overall college experience and prestige:</p>
<p>1 Michigan
2 UCLA
3 UNC
4 Illinois
5 UC-Berkeley
6 Virginia
7 Wisconsin
8 G-Tech
9 Texas
10 Washington
11 Pitt
12 Purdue
13 Penn St.
14 Maryland
15 UC-Irvine
16 Florida
17 Ohio State
18 Rutgers
19 UC- Santa Barbara
20 Arizona</p>
<p>Ok ok, we all seem to have a little bias towards our home states but we're all entitled to our opinons.</p>
