arcfromconn,
When you talk of UMich, UC Berkley, they are comparable schools to IVY league for a motivated student in almost all areas and definitely better in engineering and only MIT and Caltech are the benchmarks for engineering and not IVY league schools (except may be Cornell?). No need to get surprised there. Tradionally IVY league schools were meant to provide liberal arts education at undergraduate level in creating /training broad thinkers , but in today’s world professional education has gained as much importance and IVY league schools are are playing the catch up. Of course when it comes to post graduate education in law, medicine and business, they are top notch. Even there, UMich and Berkeley and the like will be as good.
