so you took two of the most elite schools in your comparison. k. if you want to use a real life comparison on schools, a UF diploma is gonna a much better value than say Emory and the debt even with Emory being in the top 25 yearly just due to the lack of debt and how worthless most UG degrees are now
and LOL it is not the gold standard. ask anyone on here as it relates to their majors and specific areas. there are better metrics to judge whether a school is good academically or not. you should also look up with US News uses as their factors in the rankings. there are presidents that know how to play the ranking system if that makes sense.
What are the other respected metrics? I'm not talking about specific majors. Although outside of a couple of niche disciplines, UM isn't elite in any major.
