SLU? Yuck.

It's Wash U, and it's not even close, unless we're talking about the J school.

I think it was around 10. Can't remember previous years.

I wouldn't know I have learned not to listen to any person from stl talk about stl for too long.

MU's accounting program was recently voted top ten nationally. Business school in general is gaining a little recognition, but I wouldn't argue that washU isnt better

Truman State may be better in some areas as well

Absolutely.

Sure you can, which is why there was a 2nd qualifier. We should probably also agree on a definition of an "academic school" because the primary point of ANY school is to educate. Thus making the original statement of MU being an "academic first" school completely useless. That would be a quality ALL schools possessed and, thus, can't be used to differentiate between schools.

Remove the research element from MU and Truman State is better in most areas. It's the only highly selective public school in the state (WashU being the only highly selective private school).

TSU is an excellent academic school. It's not WashU, but if you can't afford $30 grand a year to go to college, it's a reasonable facsimile.

All schools are academically focused, some are better at it than others making them a more "academic school" than others

Washington University in StL is one of the most prestigious schools in the whole country. Nothing else in Kansas or Missouri can even come close, IMO.

WashU is also 30,000 a year, I'll pass

I went to school with a kid that put up a 1600 on his SATs and walked away from WashU with a 2.6.

Their program requires not just intelligence, but an excellent work ethic.

It's one of the top 10-15 academic institutions in the country. It's right there with the Ivys on most fronts.

That's insane.



Most definitely.

I really think it's going to be called the Big 16.

I hope so... just bought Big16.tv which is a solid site for sports videos.
And Big16Sports.com that I snagged earlier.

It's the SEO part of my brain that makes me snag these domains. lol

Hopefully you get sued and lose alot of money.

And that would happen why?
