<p>I know I know. None of us have ever seen the rankings, would never use them to choose schools, and probably aren't even aware of their existence ;) Nevertheless, the new ones are up. Looks like UCLA made a huge leap into the Top 10 (pushing UMich and Columbia out) while Cornell took a tumble down 3 spots.</p>

<p>This year's rankings really illustrate the absurdity of the primary care listing. Compared to last year, WUSTL jumps from 52 to 13, HMS jumps from 25 to 7, and Duke drops from 6 to 41. I'm thrilled about the jump, I guess, but any ranking that can change that much in one year is clearly ridiculously.</p>
