2008 US News Rankings

<p>

They are real--real AP story, in real newspaper (in Europe, so already past midnight embargo there), on real web site (posted previously in this thread):</p>

<p><a href="http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/08/16/america/NA-GEN-US-College-Rankings.php%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/08/16/america/NA-GEN-US-College-Rankings.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I checked and the academy schools (USNA and USMA) classications did change. However, I don't know how they can be ranked agaisnt LACs. They are both excellent schools but how do you take into account that they basically have unlimted funds, the acceptance rate is very low and all graduates have guaranteed employment? On top of that they are basically engineering schools.</p>

<p>haha george you're right, it's hard to compete with the U.S. government when it comes to funds.</p>

<p>Not gonna lie -- it's scary how obsessed people have gotten over college rankings. I get sick of hearing people asking each other what school they're matriculating to, and then hearing them say "That's ranked Xth, right?"</p>

<p>I guess that's just the world we live in...</p>

<p>Calikid, SAT scores on Collegeboard.com are for Class of 2011, US News uses data for Class of 2010</p>

<p>Wow. I thought if anything Vanderbilt would surge ahead of Emory, not the other way around.</p>

<p>What was Vanderbilt's PA score?</p>

<p>Vanderbilt 4.0 PA</p>

<p>Mari can you post the Undergrad Biomed rankings? (if you have them)</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>how about the PA for Northwestern? THankss</p>

<p>Northwestern 4.3 PA</p>

<p>Is Arizona State University in the top 120, or is it still considered 3rd tier?</p>

<p>And how about University of Arizona and Washington State University?</p>

<p>Don't have Undergrad Biomed rankings in the book</p>

<p>ASU is 124, Arizona is 96 (see prior post for who they are tied with and Wasj State is 118</p>

<p>Guys... The whole ranking is posted on the website. And indeed, the op was telling the truth. (Some people who were accusing of his being a hoax should be ashamed.)</p>

<ol>
<li>The initial argument that the top ten rankings wouldn't be distinct was perfectly valid. It was the OP's fault that he didn't separate them.</li>
<li>A new 'leak' thread comes out each day. Why anyone should have believed him (at first, at least) is beyond me.</li>
</ol>

<p>Don't accuse the skeptics. Blame the people who believe too easily, as they're the ones who allow false leak threads to occur.</p>

<p>

But isn't it too early for the Collegeboard.com scores to have been updated to Class of 2011? The schools won't have their final Class of 2011 enrollment numbers for another month or so.</p>
