<p>I think rice should be where WUSTL is , stanford should be 3 , i would like to see brown in 8,9</p>
<p>CalTech is a trade school. Boo for trade schools!</p>
<p>Yeah, Caltech is a trade school with a 4.7/5.0 Peer Assessment score, an endowment of $700,000/student, a mean SAT score over 1500 and the highest production rate of Nobel Prize winners in Physics and Chemistry (last time I checked, those two fields are traditional disciplines...not trade). They are top 5 in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geology, Mathematics and Physics and top 20 in Economics. Finally, although Engineering is a professional field, it is still a highly complex disipline that requires fluency in advanced Mathematics and Physics. Let us be fair...there is nothing "trade schoolish" about Caltech.</p>
<p>"Yeah, Caltech is a trade school..."</p>
<p>I'm glad we can agree on this one Alex.</p>
<p>I am glad you picked up on the sarcasm! hehe!!!</p>
<p>Drexel University is ranked 112.</p>
<p>and all the philly kids or south eastern PA people see it as a great school.</p>
<p>I see just as many universities ranked 20-37 that I'd want my kids to go to for a "meaningful experience" as I see ranked 1-19.</p>
<p>there is such little difference between say #5 and #15, or #20 vs #30, its almost ridiculous.</p>
<p>I believe 20s vs 30s is a bit of a bigger difference than the top 10 vs top 20. </p>
<p>The reason is because as you move further down the line the colleges get further apart. Berkeley, Georgetown and UVA for example would all be a bit better than.. Wake Forest, Rochester, Madison. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, Duke isn't that much better than Brown.</p>
<p>what about the 40s?</p>
<p>It seems like the ones in the 40s aren't that much different from ones in the 50s, 60s and 70s. I mean what can you get out of Penn State, U of Washington, or UC-Irvine that you can't get out of Maryland, Michigan State, Iowa, Virginia Tech, Colorado, Pittsburgh, Clemson, Miami U, Purdue, or Indiana?</p>
<p>i guess they are all the big publics.</p>
<p>Drexel is ranked 112 and Penn State is 47.
Yet a lot of people in philly like Drexel over Penn State in engineering.
Even though PSU is ranked 16th in eng. and Drexel is like 52.</p>
<p>In my PA high school, never heard anyone choosing Drexel over Penn State and certainly not for engineering.</p>
<p>well most kids in philadelphia go to Drexel for engineering instead of Penn State. or is it because they got rejected from PSU?
probably yeah.</p>
<p>It looks like that the ranking of University of Chicago has moved 6 spots this year. But, USC (University of Southern California) has moved up consistently in recent years, from 42th (year 2000) to 27th (year 2007). Any clues about this?</p>
<p>"Drexel University is ranked 112.</p>

<p>Derexel is not really that great a school. It also has almost no campus. I feel sorry for any and everyone who has to attend it.</p>
<p>USC's football team was really really good those years, and got a lot of free ink, and lots of people want to attach themselves to a winner.</p>
<p>can someone please post the new ranking (America's Best Colleges 2007) on the "undergraduate business specialties: Finance, Insurance and Accouting"?
Thanks
(i.e. I have the 2006 ranking... the one i would like is the new one, 2007"</p>
<p>hey wat about utdallas?</p>
<p>Anyone know any rankings for undergrad B-schools in or just around the city

Fordham
Iona
Seton Hall
St. Johns Uni
Pace</p>
<p>I know NYU is good but are any of these any good as well?</p>
