What are some of the best academic D1 schools?

haha!!Ohio State and Wisconsin are now better than Michigan?!!

anyways, just get on the princton review or any website like that and you'll get ur answers. here's a link to one....

Those rankings are horrible. They overvalue private and small colleges. I also think the UW and UM are basically equal. OSU is nowhere near those two though.

Besides Stanford, Ivy Leagues, Duke?

So you're asking what's a good school with a competitive running program that you actually stand a chance of getting accepted to? I would recommend the patriot league.

Do you have a particular study field in mind when you ask this? Or are you asking for general/overall education?

Why the Patriot League?

None of those schools are the "Best academic D1" maybe Bucknell is close, but even that is a stretch

Bullshit. USC, UCLA, and Michigan (and Virginia) are ranked together at ~#25. Wisconsin is #39, OSU is 53 I think...and of course Oregon is bottom of the barrel as usual.

elite:

ivy

stanford

you may also want to consider the uaa (uchicago, emory, washU, carnegie mellon) if you can't run d1.

i should note i only mentioned top 25 national research universities. michigan is also a good school, but it's not a top 25 national school. additionally, these might adjust if you're into a certain major, such as syracuse for architecture or broadcasting. lastly, if a smaller, non-national school is more up your alley, there are plenty of academically solid schools like bucknell or williams in d3 which might be up your alley.

finally, if you disagree with my rankings, you're an idiot who should have gone to a better school.

This is correct (on both subjects). Look at what those rankings are based on, and you will see that many large schools not only don't care about things like large lecture sizes, but they blatantly attempt to weed people out, whereas the grade inflating Ivy's attempt to keep them in for statistics sake. (Not saying all Ivy's inflate grades, but a lot of them do.) On a different note, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois are all essentially equal schools which are better than the Ohio State University.

Georgia Institute of Technology

...Uh...NO

For women the best combination of running/academics is Princeton, for men it's Stanford, neither of those are even close.

If you aren't fast enough to run for one of them well, make a list of schools you would consider acceptable, visit the campuses and attend a class and see what you think.

Hey, Alkansas is belly belly good!
