MSU is a great example of rank not mattering and yes I am aware of supply chain.
It is a great, great local college that has national attention. If your in Michigan it’s local per se…
I haven’t looked but it’s like ranked low even in enginerring but it has a great enginerring department and applications like most schools have been up and getting in is getting more difficult yearly but probably due to sports it has national appeal.
I think it’s great that UF has some better rankings. My daughter went to Beloit College… No one cared about rank but for the students that went there it was a great school. That school even has some national appeal especially in Anthropology. But I get it, I guess at the end of the day you point to these things to signify improvement and some bragging rights… Lol…
