Are These three the top three public universities?

As related to a discussion on the midwestern board, I had suggested that the following three universities have the highest reputation among all public universities in the country:

• University of California, Berekley

* University of Michigan

• University of Virignia

Among the excellent public schools across the nation, these three seem to stand out, yet each for a different reason:

Cal: academically the top reputation and most difficult to get into. the one with probably the greatest international reputation. a research and academic powerhouse. A public school of the same quality as its private rival, Stanford.

Michigan: perhaps the most complete university in America and the one, despite its midwestern eduction, that truly served as a model for most flagship state universities.

UVa: the most "private like" among all our major state universities in terms of connection and funding by state and how it operates. If ever a public university could fit into the Ivy League, this one is it.

Well, that's just my opinion. Do others see Cal, Michigan, and UVa in a class by themselves, or am I off base on this one?>
