<p>Honestly is that a joke or what?</p>
<p>Forbes is a joke.</p>
<h1>429</h1>
<p>Seriously???
WHY?</p>
<p>The school I’m transferring from (which I consider to be much worse in any aspect) is in the top 100. What?</p>
<p>WHYYYY</p>
<p>see the post I made following a similar thread in a different forum within CC:</p>

<p>this is an absurd list!!! Out of top 60, only one public school: William & Mary (ranked 48). Top ranks heavily dominated by small LACs. A college called Principia college with total student body of 500+, mere 50 faculty members (good luck if you are looking to do research in your area of interest: there may not be any faculty that covers that field), 84% acceptance rate and SAT range of 1000-1270 (I assume 25-75%) better ranked (57) than UC Berkeley (73) and UPenn (83rd). You’ve got to be kidding me!!!</p>
<p>No offense to Principia college, and I am sure it’s a swell school for whatever student body they are serving, and I hate to single this school out, but this just shows you how absurd this list is! </p>
<p>So, what kind of ranking system comes out with a list that puts all sorts of tiny colleges without research strength, competitive student body to provide rigorous peer environment and (good natured) challenges, faculty with international renown, a wide range of career resources and opportunities on top of the nation’s reputable public institutions with world wide renown and diversified student body from all over the world that enhance education of other students (a must in this era of globalization)</p>
<p>(disclaimer, S1 is not going to UC Berkely or any public school this fall or UPenn, and S2 is not likely either in two years).</p>
<p>Well, West Point is number one. Call me a skeptic before I even really started the list.</p>
