<p>Nice to see all the homers come out of the woodwork.</p>

<p>Geeze - no one is saying that there aren’t smart students attending UoW (or any B10 school for that matter). All the B10 schools have a % of smart students (to varying degrees) who are equal to those attending NU.</p>
<p>However, NU, overall, has a higher % of “highly qualified” students.</p>
<p>UW’s grad school>>NU. Nu may have better average students but UW has better average faculty and facilities, social life and school spirit.</p>
<p>better law school? - uhm, no.</p>
<p>b-school? no.</p>
<p>med school? no.</p>
<p>And the other grad programs vary on a case by case basis (besides, graduate program rankings/reserach $$ have little to do with the quality of undergrad education or the quality of the undergraduate student body).</p>
<p>Nice to see that the UoW homers are just as delusional as the UoM homers.</p>
<p>Alex - And yet, Michigan places as high a percentage of its students into top graduate schools and exclusive IBanks and MC firms. I guess Michiugan takes a lower calibre student population and somehow educates them better than Cornell and Northwestern.</p>
<p>More UoM homerism - shocking!!</p>
<p>**Acceptedalready, the quality of the student body at Michigan is roughly equal to that at Northwestern. The SAT scores are roughly identical too, with the average Northwestern student outscoring the average Michigan student by 20-30 points on each section. </p>
<p>Yes, Northwestern’s numbers are slightly higher, but are they that much higher? Everything points to those schools having roughly equal student bodies and academics.**</p>
<p>Ughh - not THIS again.</p>
<p>Closer analysis reveals that the make-up of UoM’s student body isn’t so “roughly equal” to that of NU’s.</p>
<p>NU -
SAT verbal scores over 600 92%, SAT math scores over 600 94%, ACT scores over 24 96%, SAT verbal scores over 700 53%, SAT math scores over 700 63%, ACT scores over 30 69% </p>
<p>UoM -
SAT verbal scores over 600 70%, SAT math scores over 600 86%, ACT scores over 24 94%, SAT verbal scores over 700 21%, SAT math scores over 700 43%, ACT scores over 30 38%</p>
<p>And as we can see, the make-up of UoM’s student body is **significantly closer to that of UoW<a href=“or%20UoI%20for%20that%20matter”>/b</a> than it is to NU.</p>
<p>UoW -</p>
<h2>SAT verbal scores over 600 61%, SAT math scores over 600 81%, ACT scores over 24 91%, SAT verbal scores over 700 15%, SAT math scores over 700 31%, ACT scores over 30 26%</h2>
<p>As for SAT scores - good predictor or not, many I-banks, consulting firms and a no. of commercial banks/corporations have SAT cut-offs (it’s just another way for them to pare down their applicant pool).</p>
