<p>By “nation’s most interesting students,” I was referring to CC posters.</p>
<p>"Sorry, but how could Yale better than Harvard… "</p>
<p>Why not? Yale is just that cool :)</p>
<p>"Yale SCEA deadline is in a week. number inflation??? "</p>
<p>I totally second that. Brown, Chicago, MIT, etc. also have EA/ED deadlines soon.</p>
<p>Well so do Penn, Dartmouth, ND, Gtown, etc. So if you were using this system, you COULD compare EA/ED schools against one another.</p>
<p>lol did you legit take the time to add up the numbers for 20 threads for each of the colleges and rank them? How long did that take?</p>
<p>Considering this is pretty much a joke, I don’t think the methodology really needs to be called into question.</p>
<p>At what point in time between reading the original post and hitting the reply button did 90% of you think gadad was being serious?</p>
<p>CMU is better than Columbia. lol.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s not happening.</p>
<p>UMich is #7 because of the news that it is stopping to recalculate GPA</p>
<p>Haha some people seem to be taking this too seriously. I like this idea. Harvard shouldn’t be number 1!</p>
<p>aheheheheh… ahaha… BAWHAHAHAHAH</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The ranking has merit, I just don’t buy the premise. I very much doubt that the nation’s teenagers would find the teenagers that post at CC interesting. Most interesting … not a chance.</p>
<p>^More like which ones have the most CC addicts…because my school lacks them, I’ve been filling the void… :rolleyes:</p>
<p>duke is better than rice!</p>

<p>0.05 seconds per school if you use a script with regular expressions.</p>
<p>geek power ++</p>
<p>The Chicago boards have a lot of alumni/current students/parents relative to the number of prospective students, and those of us who post are pretty committed to posting. If you check out our forums, you’ll see that we’re capable of sustaining a lot of looooooooong philosophical conversations. Not unlike the school experience, either :-D</p>
<p>I don’t know if it’s a metric for the school’s energy and excitement and buzz as much as it is a reflection of the interest many of the Chicago posters have in the state of higher education and the changes and developments to the school</p>
<p>That’s an interesting way to rank them, but the number of posts doesn’t neccesarily represent the school’s popularity. Also now that you’ve brought this up people may start spamming their favs to raise their ranking.</p>
<p>I really hope I never see the word “Northwestern” abbreviated in such a horrific way as “NWern”
It’s NU. <em>shudders</em></p>
<p>

<p>I’m a very fast adder (i.e., a person who totals sums, not a venomous snake).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>But so is Northeastern (or “NEern”, if you will 
).</p>
<p>why is this a featured discussion anyways?</p>
