^If you are saying that Brown should be ranked much higher than NU, then you mean that Brown should be a top 10 school or that NU should be ranked much lower than it currently is. I don’t think Brown is seen by most as a real top 10 school or that it should be in fact in the top 10. I don’t think Brown would deserve to take the place of any of the schools that consistently rank in the USNews top 10. Also I don’t see why NU should be ranked lower than the #11-#15 tier. It is a very strong school, in fact stronger than Brown in many regards.
