This Map Shows The Most Desirable Colleges Per State
Infographic maps that start arguments are always great material, and this one will certainly accomplish that. The website eCollegeFinder put together the below map. It reveals which American colleges are the “most desirable” within the states they reside. The results are based on “which college received the most undergraduate applications in the fall of 2013,” using data from the National Center for Education Statistics’ Database.
Most of the results will come as no surprise, but there are some shockers in here.

UCLA only because no one wants to get shot after stepping off USCs campus lol
11 years ago at 10:40 amgood one
11 years ago at 12:45 pmIt physically hurts me to see texas that ugly burnt orange
11 years ago at 10:40 amThis list is laughable. Nobody wants to go to UCF, but it’s easy to get into.
11 years ago at 10:40 amLike Dorn’s pedo-van?
11 years ago at 1:53 pmDid anybody show bacon that Washington U is more popular than Mizzou?
11 years ago at 10:40 amHow the fuck is Wash U more popular than Mizzou? Sec East Champs, top 3 Journalism School, top Nursing School, the fucking originators of Homecoming?
11 years ago at 1:59 pmJournalism? I actually laughed at that
11 years ago at 2:39 pmThat’s because Wash U has the number 5 business school in the country, the best premed program in the country, phenomenal other programs, a country club like campus, and is ranked the number 15 university in the country, ahead of a couple Ivies, Vandy, Notre Dame, and many more. Mizzou is a damn good time but it’s hard to beat a resume like that.
11 years ago at 4:46 pmWashU also has alum like Jeff Tremaine, Harold Ramis and Chris Sanderson. Hard to beat that resume is right
11 years ago at 5:29 pmNo Floridian really WANTS to go to UCF… You’ll get a way better experience at FSU and (although I hate to say it) UF.
11 years ago at 10:41 amTake a lap semenhole. No one wants to go to Free Shellfish U either
11 years ago at 11:57 amIt’s based solely on applications? There’s no surprise that the liberals in Chicago want to go to Northwestern. How about world rankings in academics? (UIUC is top 25 in the world) Or party school rankings? (#3 in the Princeton Review)
11 years ago at 10:42 amWhy brag about UIUC’s academic ranking when Northwestern is top 15 in the country? And I’m calling bullshit that U of I is top 25 in the world. It’s not even in the top 40 in the US.
11 years ago at 12:00 pmThat list of top universities in the world is absolute horse shit. Anyone with a decent knowledge of colleges in the US would see an absurd amount of flaws in that list.
11 years ago at 4:50 pmIf you’re choosing to go to to UIUC over Northwestern, there’s a reason you’re going to UIUC.
11 years ago at 9:32 amBiggest joke is Marquette over Wisconsin. Marquette is a safety school compared to Wisconsin.
11 years ago at 10:43 amwell that’s just simply not true
11 years ago at 11:51 amAs a Wisconsinite, I can guarantee this.
11 years ago at 12:02 pmha wisconsinite here too bro and a marquette student. not knocking on wisconsin but when you consider top schools both are safeties.
11 years ago at 12:09 pmI’ll settle this right now. Wisconsin is 10x better than Marquette. Even Marquette and UWM are kinda a toss up for #2. Marquette is wierd as fuck.
11 years ago at 1:20 pmUWM shouldn’t even count as a college. I dont think we pay 40k a year at MU for a shitty education.
11 years ago at 2:15 pmOn the university sites, it indicates that Marquette is more expensive than UW, in every way possible, out-of-state, with or without room or board, everything. It’s also lower in ROI, USNWR, and median alumni salary. Marquette is also in Milwaukee. Three strikes
11 years ago at 2:21 pmEasy way to settle this, Marquette’s application is free and UW’s costs money. Seems pretty obvious which school would receive the most undergraduate applications.
On Wisconsin
11 years ago at 4:45 pmThe only thing Marquette is good for is the dental school. Let’s be honest, who wants to pick through Dorn’s mouth right after he got done blowing his 13 year old boyfriend.
11 years ago at 4:49 pmOr maybe you do because you’re a chump. My program is ranked 15th in the country at UWM. All the professors are Harvard, Princeton, Oxford types and its dirt cheap. Oh yeah, not to mention Marquette girls come to UWM to party.
11 years ago at 5:15 pmThat’s why Microsoft’s new CEO is a UWM alum? Yeah you’re right, definitely not a college.
11 years ago at 5:42 pmhe did his masters degree there because he was an international student taking loans. Pretty sure it was his UChicago MBA that helped propel him to management
11 years ago at 7:07 pmPretty sure the masters degree is what got him the job.
11 years ago at 8:51 pmI’d rather go to UW-Parkside than Marquette. Marquette is disgraceful.
11 years ago at 12:05 pmas an out of stater, i gotta go with uw. better city, party school, and decent education compared to the rest of the big 10. that being said, fuck wisco
11 years ago at 4:07 pmMarquette’s average GPA is higher than Madison’s I believe. And I know for a fact that their accounting and finance programs are higher ranked than Madison’s.
11 years ago at 1:18 amMadison has 30,000 students. Marquette has 11,000. Madison curriculum is proven harder. And Madison’s Business School is ranked 29th in the country (need a 3.6 gpa to get into it), and Marquette’s isn’t even ranked. Boom.
11 years ago at 8:38 amObligatory fuck Duke
11 years ago at 10:44 amWill we be compensating them for said fuck? Will it be on camera?
11 years ago at 10:47 am-53! Looks like Belle Knox fans are defensive…
11 years ago at 8:56 amBetter than the liberal shithole full of gays called Chapel Hill
11 years ago at 11:56 amHaha but Duke is all jewish yankees. Least southern, big school in the state.
11 years ago at 10:44 am*dook
11 years ago at 12:30 pmDuke’s the only school in the South where you can make it to Wall Street and unlike most Ivies you can still have a good time while you’re at it
11 years ago at 12:53 pmI’m pretty sure prestigious southern schools including Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, and Virginia, who all have very strong Greek Scenes, can make it on Wall St while having a damn good time.
11 years ago at 1:48 pmApart from maybe UVA, Duke absolutely blows those schools out of the water when it comes to Wall Street recruitment.
11 years ago at 2:21 pm“We don’t hate Duke because they’re smart. We hate them because they think they’re smarter than they actually are.”
11 years ago at 4:47 pmElitism, pretentiousness. TFM
11 years ago at 5:26 pmI went to my friend at duke’s christmas party, their biggest party of the semester.
Casual tuesday nights at my public college are a better time. And kids still get onto wall street.
11 years ago at 7:01 pmFuck the ducks
11 years ago at 10:45 amIt must get lonely up there in Corvalis with all those sheep
11 years ago at 12:27 pmIt’s going to be a lonely life for you with your liberal arts degree from a school with sub par academics.
11 years ago at 2:30 pmThere’s 0% chance Marquette had 23,000 applicants with 8,000 enrolling. Someone fucked up somewhere
