<p>I found the 2008 US News at the Store today:
Here are the top 25 rankings for National Universities:</p>

<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>California Institute of Technology</li>
<li>University of Pennsylvania</li>
<li>MIT</li>
<li>Duke</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>University of Chicago</li>
<li>Dartmouth</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>Washington at Stl Louis</li>
<li>Brown</li>
<li>John Hopkins</li>
<li>Northwestern</li>
<li>Emory</li>
<li>Rice</li>
<li>Emory</li>
<li>Vanderbilt</li>
<li>University of Cal at Berkley</li>
<li>CMU</li>
<li>Georgetown</li>
<li>University of Virginia</li>
<li>University of Cal - LA </li>
</ol>

<p>Will post LACs later - Williams remains Number 1</p>

2

<p>Emory twice? 5 posts? Seems like a hoax...</p>

3

<p>You people are really getting desperate...</p>

4

<p>Lawl-lawl. First of all, they would NEVEr, nEVER place 1-10 consecutively without a tie. Look in the past years, there's always a tie somewhere in the top 10.</p>

<p>And sorry, this is blatant Penn trolling. Penn > MIT????? not gonna happen.</p>

<p>Edit: although reading the other posts by this poster, he/she seems to be a parent. Why would a grown up bother lying about this stuff???... I hope it isn't true. I think Columbia by now deserves to ascend beyond Duke/~=Penn.</p>

5

<p>Made a mistake listing Emory twice. Its 17. Notre Dame is tied with Vanderbilt for 19th.</p>

<li>Amherst</li>
<li>Swarthmore</li>

<p>Marigtdog do you mind taking a picture and posting it somewhere?</p>

7

<p>umm why is washington @ st louis listed under both universites and lacs? or am i just really dumb lol</p>

8

<p>Hey, smartass, sucks that WashU isn't a LAC...</p>

9

<p>He might have meant Washington & lee university</p>

10

<p>Yes, scorp is prob correct. That's about where Washington & Lee should be.</p>

11

<p>I didn't know that USNA and USMA were classified as LAC's ?</p>

12

<p>I think they changed the Carnegie classifications this year. In fact, that's what leads me to believe that this is the real deal.</p>

13

<p>truazn is correct. Because certain colleges are so close together in total score, it would be near impossible for there to not exist ties in the top 10. Move along, folks. You'll get your results in 2 days.</p>

14

<p>Can anyone confirm that these are correct?</p>

15

<p>Meant Washington & Lee tied for 15th on LACs not Washington at St. Louis</p>

</p>

<p>Yes, they are indeed correct. I was skeptical at first, but I just got back from the Store and I saw them too!</p>

17

<p>"He might have meant Washington & lee university"
or maybe he sucks at lying.</p>

18

<p>Oh wow. There's no ties at all in the first 10.</p>

19

<p>can we get a more complete list? pictures?</p>

20

<p>Phuriku.... you went to the store and back in 4 minutes?</p>

<p>6:54: "Move along folks"
6:58: "These are indeed correct"</p>
