<p>Columbia has had a #1 research rank for several years running actually.</p>
<p>^ Plus, admit rate is only 1.5% of the total score:</p>
<p>Why did Yale's peer assessment drop to 4.8? Wasn't it 4.9 last year?</p>
<p>pagEL, it could be a typo, as there appear to be lots of those. Otherwise, I agree, it seems rather inexplicable. It seems like every year recently, Yale has had a 4.9 (along with Harvard, Princeton, MIT, and Stanford), though perhaps I'm mistaken.</p>
<p>so are the rankings posted by the op real or not</p>
<p>We'll know in about 24 hours--don't they post them right after midnight?</p>
<p>85% real. But who knows. Wait 23 hours and 48 minutes and we'll find out for ourselves.</p>
<p>Columbia is #1 in research according to who?</p>

<p>Pretty empirical and reliable, but doesn't mean much for undergrad.</p>
<p>ok thanks
10 chqars</p>
<p>We will know by Friday, but I hope they're not real because then it won't be exciting to find out the real list!</p>
<p>Yeah...talk about spolier! hehe!!!</p>
<p>This is so dumb... I'll just wait.</p>
<p>Well at least this one looks reasonable unlike the last one I saw. Everything looks pretty much the same though. <em>yawn</em></p>
<p>When was Penn better than MIT? ***.</p>
<p>And Duke needs to get out of the top 10. It does not belong.</p>
<p>USNWR rankings = scam.</p>
<p>I hope this isn't real.</p>
<p>How the rankings should be:
1. Harvard
2. Yale
3. Princeton
4. Stanford
5. MIT
6. Columbia
7. Dartmouth
8. Caltech
9. Brown
10. Penn</p>
<p>But it never looks anything like that, besides the Top 4.</p>
<p>The only thing that keeps Penn in the top 10 is Wharton. All other schools (within Penn) are pretty much bs.</p>
<p>I call HOAX...</p>
<p>Look at the OP other posts... first ones are in July of 2005, one post in April of 2006, and now 16 months later, he has the US NEWS 2008 rankings? After no posts in over a year he just runs across the '08 rankings at the bookstore and decides to post them here? I think some CC regular jumped on his dad's old screen name and posted this to have a little fun.</p>
<p>I don't know, it just seems fishy...</p>

<p>Two years ago, in 2005, when U Penn was #4 and MIT was #5.</p>
<p>Can someone go to Barnes and Nobles and confirm this? I wish I can, but my country doesn't have B&B.</p>
