Top Midwest Colleges

Based on what? This is not the case for finance as it is probably like: Tier 1: Uchicago/Umich Tier 2: Notre Dame / Northwestern . . . . (insert local community college and people going to IB from McDonalds) . . . Tier 99: IU Kelly. But in all seriousness, if this isn't for IB then it should def be WashU and Notre Dame ahead of Michigan.

Minnesota is a piss poor school for banking, but the biz school ranks higher than UW Madison in nearly every ranking

No comment but your post history if very cringe. Shitting on highschoolers and college kids for giving their opinions on this forum and then proceeding to make numerous threads of your own in order to suit yourself as likely a high school junior or a prospective transfer student.

Which of these schools are stronger in classics? Which are stronger in physics? In mechanical engineering? In 20th-century continental philosophy? In computer science? Do any offer interciscplinary programs in medieval & reniassance studies? Do any offer degrees in criminology? Which ones have the best student support servcies? The best student health services? The happiest student bodies?

Since you seem to be WSO's self-annoited expert in all-things-college-ranking-related (perhaps supplanting US News is your great life goal), I assume that you can provide insight into such questions.

PS: For a moment, it occurred to me that you might be a know-nothing troll who equates college "prestige" with what you take to be (based on WSO high-school hearsay) a school's recent track-record of success in IB recruting (measured in some way that remains opaque to outsiders). Fortunately, that moment of cynicism passed, so I eagerly await your detailed responses. Thanks!
