But nice try
Do you just want me to list famous UNC alumni?
This incredible UMD education clearly never taught you about the straw man fallacy.
UNC has 9 Nobel prize winners, 23 Pulitzer Prize winners and 51 Rhodes Scholars.
Correct me if I am wrong, Maryland has had 3 Nobel Prize winners, 15* Pulitzer Prize winners and 2 Rhodes Scholars?
The US World and News Report ranked Maryland 58th and 19th among public schools. That same rankings had UNC 28th and 5th among public schools.
Maryland’s acceptance rate is 47% to UNC’s 23%.
I don’t know alumni that well off the top of my head, but if I do a quick 15 minute scan on the internet…
