<p>Silly argument. In biology, Wisconsin is one of 5 schools ranked #15 (= 15 through 19). Michigan is one of 4 schools ranked #20 (= 20 through 23). This places Michigan at exactly the same level as Penn, and ahead of such schools as Northwestern, Brown, Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, and Emory. Yet you’d never hear a pre-med major say they were choosing Wisconsin over Penn, Brown, Dartmouth, etc. because of such trivial differences in the schools’ grad school rankings in biology. </p>
<p>In chemistry, Wisconsin is one of 3 schools ranked #7 (=7 through 9) and Michigan is one of 3 schools ranked #16 (= 16 though 19). Either way, that’s pretty exalted territory for a chemistry major. Michigan is ranked the same as Princeton and ahead of Penn and Johns Hopkins, yet you’d never hear anyone say they were choosing Wisconsin over Princeton, Penn, and JHU for undergrad over such trivial differences in the chemistry grad program rankings. Especially a pre-med, insofar as it’s primarily GPA and MCAT scores that will determine whether you get into med school, and if so where. </p>
