I want Yale to be tied for #1
[/quote]
Cuz you know, one set of rankings put it as the third best school in the nation out of thousands and thousands of universities...which just isnt good enough. =P lol. Get a grip people. Its a ranking? If a buncha schools were tied for number 1 you would all still be complaining. I doubt the number 1 schools (harvard and princeton) are really that much better than yale...or even the number 10 (gasp thats so bad) school (dartmouth). They are all pretty much equal...</p>
<p>You kids take this way too seriously.</p>
<p>Boston University dropped down to 60</p>
<p>Maybe I'm missing it in another thread, but the OFFICIAL list is here.</p>
<p>Wow those ppl who said Barron was lying must feel....</p>
<p>REALLY</p>
<p>STUPID.</p>
<p>Can someone explain why year after year USNEWS ranks Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, and Emory higher than UCB, CMU, and Georgetown?</p>
<p>I'm sorry this is my first year reading the rankings, but it says that the middle 50% SAT Ranges are from '04. Does that mean they are from the class of 2009, the people who applied last fall? And are these accurate because Villanova has completely different numbers on there site (The middle 50 percent range of SAT scores for the typical accepted applicant was 1290-1410) than the ones USNews has in the master universities for the north (1180- 1340). Can someone clairify all this?</p>
<p>Curmudgeon, Scripps is 27th, tied with Barnard, Bucknell, Colorado Col., and Lafayette. Hanover is 94th, tied with Augustana (IL), Goucher (MD), and Hope (MI).</p>
<p>All that could be said has been said! If you want to continue the discussions about Penn and Duke, take it to the schools' respective boards. I will remove all posts that attempt to reignite the debate in this particular thread.

<p>Yo guys who have the book...what are the peer assesment scores now for the top 10/20 schools?</p>
<p>I am not trying to reignite a debate here. I just want to point out one surprising info on 2006 US News ranking regarding Penn:
Penn's selectivity rank this year is a high #6! Higher than Stanford (#8) in spite of higher acceptance rate and lower SAT 25/75 percentilge range. The magic? Higher % of freshmen in the top10% of their HS.</p>
<p>I don't have the book but from what I remember (I saw it in bookstore today), the peer assessment score is almost identical to the one from last year. Duke still has 4.6. HYPSM still got 4.9. CalTech got 4.7, I think. Cornell/Chicago got 4.6. Penn dropped from 4.6 to 4.5. JHU got 4.5 or 4.6 (not sure). Northwestern/Dartmouth got 4.4. WashU has 4.1.</p>
<p>Can someone help me with the questions i had like 5 posts prior to this, I would really appreciate it!</p>
<p>Thanks, man. Wow I wonder why Penn dropped.</p>
<p>xx13xx - the nova site says the stats for "accepted" students, not enrolled students, and also, the data is for the class of 2008, not for this years class (Yeah, I didn't know either)</p>
<p>Okay thanks for clairifying that.</p>
<p>I guess I can complain too much about my alta mater</p>
<p>In 2004 Pitzer College was ranked 70th
In 2005 Pitzer COllege was ranked 59th - up 11 spots
In 2006 PItzer College was ranked 53rd - up 6 spots</p>
<p>2007 Prediction Pitzer College will be rank 50th, making it first tier since it baby finding in 1963s.</p>
<p>Go PITZER!!!</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>bowdoin ranked with pomona? carleton and wellesley ranked higher? im sorry, but pomona should probably be ranked next to AWS. is it just me, or is there a huge east coast bias in the ranking. or maybe i just have too much school pride, but i dont think so.</p>
<p>pure, 100% B U L L S H I T</p>
