Can Someone Please Clearly State the Academic Reputation of UW Madison

Hello, so I'm the guy considering a Umich/NW transfer this spring (made an old post if anyone can see). I still haven't really made up my mind. The answers to the OP were useful, but I noticed they essentially said that if you work hard enough, you can place from anywhere. I guess this left me with the glaring question of is UW Madison really that unknown/unheard of? Like, people responded to my comments saying they placed from some random directional school in Iowa. I think that's great, but does that really apply to my situation being in a Big 10 school?

Basically, I want to know what the academic reputation for UW Madison is specifically in the finance world. I've gotten totally mixed responses. If you ask an academic, they'll tell you it's among the Top 10 publics in the nation, and its US News academic peer reputation score of 4.2/5 (6th best of all publics) certainly reflects that. I don't think it has such a stellar reparation in the business world, in fact it couldn't because if it did MBB's would come and recruit but they don't (which causes my transfer anxiety in the first place). I tried to ask UW stem/business students the reputation and ofc they basically said we are Harvard which can't be true. They kept referencing the real estate program; I'm a math major so I don't really know anything about RE but I don't think that's important/gets recruitment? 

TLDR; if someone could just answer the title question and list some peer schools that would be very helpful!
