Michigan Tech has earned itself another title: The Most Underrated College in Michigan. In a national review, Business Insider recently chose the 50 most underrated colleges in the United States. They toted Michigan Tech as the champ for Michigan, stating of the winners:
Oftentimes, these schools’ strong academic programs are overshadowed by the popular perception that a college is better if it’s tough to get into. These colleges challenge that myth, and are smart – and potentially safe – options for student applicants.
Several factors helped decide which schools made the top of the list for each state, including academic rankings, in-state population, and acceptance rates.
It’s true: we have an acceptance rate close to 75%. Also true: on average, our incoming students have a 3.66 GPA on a 4.0 scale, and an ACT composite score of 26.7. Our students are crazy smart, and we were recently recognized as #11 in the nation for public schools with the smartest students.
