<p>just curious, but i can't seem to access any of the links to these rankings either on CC or elsewhere. (I live in the PRoC, could have something to do with it) If anyone wouldn't mind copying and pasting them here I would really appreciate it. Just Curious, thanks!

<p>Umm...why are julliard and peabody just randomly thrown into such a list??</p>
<p>Michigan and UCLA tied for #81 with College of the Atlantic, and smoked by Whitman and Franklin and Marshall?</p>
<p>Has this been updated at all in the last ten years?<br>
could someone give the URL?</p>
<p>The ranking I listed was done in 1999-2000. I don't think it's been updated since then. </p>
<p>thanks, those are interesting. I was just curious to see a ranking that combines LACs and research Unis, because I always found the split format a bit frustrating in US news. Granted there are wide differences between these two types of institutions, but I have always felt that the two groups as a whole are realistically no further apart then many of the institutions grouped together on said lists (I think large public and medium-sized private universities are equally beasts of a difernet breed, in terms of overall educational style and student experience, yet they are ranked together by US news). Certainly since most people consult the rankings for undergraduate education, the major differences, that one group has large graduate progams, is somewhat irrelevant.</p>
<p>its interesting though that he chooses to split certain schools where there is a reputational dissconect like Columbia Fu(engineering) from Columbia college, but not say Wharton from UPenn; if ranked seperately I suspect Wharton would fall closer to the top 2 or 3 spots. Just one example-it would be possible with many other of the larger schools like Berkely, Mich, etc though perhaps the reputational disconnect is not as glaring as with Penn and Columbia.</p>
