2008 US News Rankings

<p>correction to the ranking above: yo Penn is tied with Caltech for 5th place, despite so much anger about this ranking. I guess when the editor-in-chief of US News and World Report is a Wharton grad, there's not much you can do ^_^</p>

<p>Or maybe Penn just isn't worse than Cal Tech (a school with like 7 majors)</p>

<p>This thread reminds me of those baseball caps that read...." I am surrounded by idiots"</p>

<p>This thread needs to die. Enuff said.</p>

<p>it's John*s* Hopkins</p>

<p>Regarding alumni giving:</p>

<p>That's better than the current method.</p>

<p>Agree, barrons. The current method lets people give $1 and be counted towards the total. It just rewards schools that have more money to hire staff to call the phone lists.</p>

<p>"Cal Tech (a school with like 7 majors)"</p>

<p>Hmm, obviously you can't count. A common reason why one might have an inferiority complex towards Caltech.</p>

<p>""Cal Tech (a school with like 7 majors)""</p>

<p>Hmm obviously you can't detect things such as exaggeration/hyperbole</p>

<p>Isseidazo: actually, the editor-in-chief of USNWR, Mort Zuckerman, has a bachelor's degree, and law degree from McGill University. He received a Master's of Law from Harvard, and an MBA from Wharton.</p>

<p>I, of course, think that Caltech is the biggest joke of a "national university" ranked so highly on the list.... :rolleyes:</p>

<p>what is COE? it is a college in that link above - posterx</p>

<p>does that cohe have a wb site?</p>

<p>Chronicle of Higher Education. </p>

<p>please keep this thread alive until august 17th 2008!</p>

<p>These rankings are all ********, I like how Caltech went from 7 in 1999 to 1 in 2000.</p>
