<p>Alex et al,</p>
<p>I know you all defend/boast about michigan because you go there, but I think its enough already with the “michigan is a top 10/15/whatever number floats your boat these day” school posts. Michigan may very well be the best school in the universe, but according to USNews’s methodoly it isn’t. In fact, the thing I find most comedic about it is that the only reason michigan is even ranked 25 in USNews is because of its very good PA score, which even you, Alexandre, said wasn’t important unless you were a student who was going to graduate school–and most students don’t. Without PA, I’m sure Michigan would drop to the mid 30s. And a school, which many of you like to compare michigan to, UVa (which is consistently ranked higher than michigan anyway), and constantly say “well michigan is better than UVa” tends to stay at its ranking, or move slightly up in “PA free” recalculation of the rankings. Just my 2 cents…</p>
<p>Now, do I think UVa is better than Michigan? Of course not, but I’m also not someone who is going to make stupid comment like bahamutscale and say “Perhaps, UVA is worse than us by a small margin.”</p>
