</p>

<p>Yes, I did. I live right next to the Store and I am a very fast writer, so it took me about a minute to copy them down and bolt out of the store. I might have looked a bit suspicious, though. I AM NOT LYING.</p>

<p>These are false.</p>

<p>But at any rate... mind telling me how Boston College fares in your version of the rankings?</p>

25

<p>If this is a hoax, then hats off! I bet there's not on person in 10,000 even in higher education who knew that the only 2 service acadamies whose new Carnegie Classificaiton were as Baccalaurete Arts&Science schools = the Naval and Military Academies. </p>

<p>Yea looks reasonable i guess. Well we'll find out in ~ 28 hours anyway.</p>

27

<p>I would rather like these rankings to be true. I like MIT's ranking.</p>

28

29

<p>Penn > MIT takes some validity out of these rankings. Not saying these are false, but that people will laugh when they see Penn > MIT.</p>

<p>University of Miami is 52nd tied with Yeshiva</p>

<p>Why did you post UCLA in the first list, but not Michigan? Lax is right this does seem like BS.</p>

<p>Both UCLA and Michigan are tied for 25th. Both have Overall scores of

UCLA is listed as the first 25 and I did not see until the second post that
it was tied with Michigan.</p>
