<p>Can</a> you name the top Universities in the U.S. (based on U.S. News Rankings)? - sporcle</p>

<p>Just a fun quiz game based off of USNWR =) </p>

<p>I know people will start talking about how rankings are not legit, or they dont include liberal Arts schools, and whatever, but hey, let's see how many colleges the average collegeconfidential person can name!</p>

<p>I got two right: Harvard and Yale. Ah, Gilmore Girls has taught me well. See, Rory (Lorelai’s D for CC n00bs) always wanted to go to Harvard since she was a baby, but then she kind of got talked into going to Yale by her grandfather.</p>

<p>PROTIP- when in doubt, just name a state! Or even half the state, and you will usually hit on one!</p>

<p>47/50. Missed UCSB, RPI, and Yeshiva…that was actually kind of fun.</p>

<p>That was really fun. haha</p>

<p>:]</p>

18

<p>I got 43.</p>

<p>I forgot Johns Hopkins (how could I forget this one?! I was racking my brain for schools in Maryland and could only come up with UMD-College Park), Tufts, Lehigh (which I always forget about because I think its position is undeserved), Case Western (trying to think of that school in Ohio!), Rensselaer Polytechnic (not that I can spell it to save my life), UC-Santa Barbara (tried all of the other UC-campuses besides Merced – couldn’t remember Santa Barbara, and Yeshiva (which I didn’t think was in the top 50 – I saw that there was another school in New York and I kept guessing Fordham…)</p>

19

<p>At the 5 minute mark, I was at 48. After entering, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles,
San Diego, Santa Barbara, I spent 4 minutes trying to enter Merced for that last UC school. </p>

<p>It seems I missed that little Bay Area school and that Ann Arbor one. :)</p>
