UCLA v Wake Forest University v University of Michigan

[beyphy]

<p>

Compared to Cal and Michigan, UCLA is relatively ‘young’. To say that “UCLA reputation is significantly better than Michigan’s” and “… that internationally both schools are equally if not more respected (than Michigan)” is simply ignorant.

<p>My girlfriend’s from China and knows about elite schools of higher education in the U.S. Guess which university she’d never heard of? MICHIGAN. The only two public universities she mentioned were Cal and UCLA, which basically supports what golden boy said (i have anecdotes too!)</p>

<p>UCLA consistently ranks as one of the most internationally respected universities in the world, and the public opinion mirrors this. To try to argue that it isn’t using support from some alumni group is “simply ignorant.”</p>
