<p>Pton Rulesssss</p>

<p>Hmmph but the rankings aren't released yet. How did you get these?</p>

<p>Considering how dedicated some people here are, I wouldn't be surprised if some CCers joined up to kidnap some poor US News reporter and torture the rankings out of him.</p>

<p>The rankings will be leaked before Friday. That's a given, but when it happens for real there will be links to jpeg images of the actual pages. That's the only way that you'll know that it's not b.s.</p>

<p>Princeton has a very, very good shot at being #1 again, but the OP probably made those up.</p>

<p>Because Princeton has removed its ED program, do you think that Princeton will lose its #1 spot in the future? (due to lower yield rate)</p>

<p>No, it is not that big of a deal.</p>

<p>Fake rankings, me thinks.</p>

<p>not like the rankings matter anyways. everyone knows that no matter what U.S. News says, Princeton will always be #1. =)</p>

<p>Isn't yield no longer a factor in the rankings formula? FWIW, Princeton gained in my estimation when it set aside its ED program. Before and after ED, Princeton has long been a fine college--rankings, schmankings.</p>

<p>Source please?</p>
