<p>One thing for sure. UM-Ann Arbor will never be ranked very highly in the nation that will say it’s the ‘Harvard of the West’. (This means UM-Ann Arbor and also other top public colleges are leading the whole nation and can compete with Ivies and Ivy Plus colleges on national prestige) So does UC Berkeley, it won’t be equal to Yale like it does in the Sixties. It won’t be ‘nationally prominent’. Yes, they’re still at the top percentile of America’s colleges. But then, if we are obsessed with prestige and fame, then more likely the most able of us all will consider UC Berkeley and UM-Ann Arbor at a lesser incidence than other rising colleges, like Duke and USC.</p>
