<p>Dang... Columbia. You suck...
MIT/CIT hahahaha</p>

<p>Penn moved to #5 :(</p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>

2

<p>ugh… why can’t princeton drop.</p>

3

<p>I’m surprised duke and notre dame are ranked that high, but honestly they’re all great schools and it wouldn’t make a difference to me if the school i wanted to attend was #6 vs #8.</p>

4

<p>^True. But I still want Penn to move up. And princeton to move down. Glad MIT/CIT got bumped down, espeically CIT. Reminds me of that College Hit/Give thread lol</p>

<p>Truth!</p>

<p>All is right with the world. Harvard is exactly where it should be.</p>

7

<p>Columbia isn’t above MIT and Stanford.</p>

<p>Brown is better than Washington U.</p>

<p>Notre Dame isn’t better than Emory and Georgetown.</p>

<p>USC isn’t better than UCLA. UCLA is cheaper for in-state, as well.</p>

<p>I like that Chicago and Northwestern have 27% acceptance rates this year. Great news. I hope it stays that way…</p>

9

<p>^That is quite strange. The ratings are flawed, but I didn’t realize that this included being inconsistent.</p>

10

<p>*** why is Brown so low and where’s Stanford?!</p>

11

<p>stanfords like #5 chill out</p>

12

<p>I love this stuff. “Columbia isn’t above MIT and Stanford.” You know how I know this? Columbia is not part of HYMPS.</p>

<p>The silver lining of the USNWR frenzy every year is that a Penn, or Duke, or Columbia will rock the boat.</p>

13

<p>^^ Oh lol. I did not see that. <em>embarrassed</em></p>

14

<p>Oh god… USC is above UCLA.</p>

15

<p>^ I wonder how much USC bribed the USNews to be placed above UCLA.</p>

16

<p>Oh no! My future alma mater dropped one spot! Now questioning my existence and worthiness…</p>

17

<p>Brown’s acceptance rate is heartbreaking…</p>

18

<p>I feel an injustice has been done to MIT.</p>

19

<p>I feel fortunate that the only national university I’m pledging allegiance to pre-matriculation never has to deal with this drama. Cambridge is consistently ranked by Times at #2. No heart attacks needed. ;D</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It’ll give the folks at the USC board something to brag about.</p>
