I can’t speak for any of the schools aside from UW Madison. The psychology program at Madison has an especially large department. Being a great research center, Madison offers some unparalleled opportunities like unfettered access to the primate colonies, huge sample sizes (undergrads serve in experiments for extra credit or money), astonishing course offerings etc. These benefits come with lots of grad students that would compete for professors’ attention and time (more successfully than you will be able to). The major at Madison only requires half a dozen classes and is best utilized as one part of a double major (no minors at Madison).
