Idk what we consider the “Midwest to be” but here are some schools generally in the area that are good. Happy to delete any you don’t like. No particular order. ;)

1. Northwestern

2. Notre Dame

3. Wisconsin Madison

4. Ohio State

5. Minnesota Twin Cities

6. Carnegie Mellon

7. University of Chicago

8. Purdue

9. Penn St

10. Washington University St. Louis

11. UIUC

12. Case Western

13. Michigan

So there are plenty of world class educational institutions in the Midwest. Frankly I’d take this list over your list and that’s not including other brand name universities like Indiana, Pitt, Michigan State, Nebraska, or Iowa, some of which do “non-sexy” research in agricultural science and other fields. Ohio State has the only undergraduate wedding engineering program in North America even. It really is an absolute powerhouse of a region with far more national brand name recognition and reputation and monster enrollment numbers.

Cornell (ever heard of it?) is just as close to Columbus as UW-Madison is.

California has all that stuff because it’s literally further from SF to LA than it is from Columbus to DC.

I was just going off of the “Midwest” versus distance.

Yea it’s a big state. I’d love to go off of distance though so we can include lots of other fantastic universities just to further drive home my point.
