I am really surprised by some of the comments on this page. While undergrad "reputation" is largley under/over-rated based solely on application selectivity and other factors that do not necessarily refelct an accurate picture of the university, grad school reputation ( excluding U.S News and other "offical surveys") is based on performace (faculty funding/citation, project funding, employer assesemetn). If you take some of these "official rankings" and ONLY look at the peer assesment colum ( which includes other faculty/deans/administrators around the country and employers, i.e. law firms, hospitals, companies , etc) UW Madison is consistently at the top of the charts. This is not because of empty stats, it is becasue of the education and productivity of UW-Madison Graduates. My advice, when looking for the right grad school give more importance to the financial and employment reality of your degree rather than how well a school measures up (or dosen't) to the reputation you think it should have.
