NRC publication: Sept. 28?

<p>I found this today: Assessment</a> of Research-Doctorate Programs</p>

<p>"Revised August 23, 2010</p>

<p>The National Research Council is pleased to announce that the Data-Based Assessment of Research-Doctorate Programs will be publicly released on September 28"</p>

<p>Finally!</p>

<p>Now, I wonder if Prof. Newton at TAMU will compile an aggregation of scores as he did in 1997 following the 1995 report. <a href="http://www.stat.tamu.edu/%7Ejnewton/nrc_rankings/nrc1.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.stat.tamu.edu/~jnewton/nrc_rankings/nrc1.html&lt;/a> Not that we ourselves could not do it, but it would take (guessing) over 100 hours to enter the raw scores into an excel spreadsheet.</p>

<p>The participating schools are supposed to get an advanced copy before general release (now September 28th). I expect schools to have press releases ready when the info goes public.</p>

<p>BTW, we’ll supposedly see ranges for the ranking…not an absolute ranking.</p>

<p>^ If history is any guide, we know that the UC-Berkeley web site will cover it extensively. :p</p>

<p>45% – why? Berkeley never does well in these rankings.</p>

<p>^ (Shhhhhhhhh! UCBChemEGrad thinks that it does. ;))</p>

<p>Yeah, sure. I’ll believe it when I see it ;)</p>

<p>All good things come to those who wait…;)</p>

<p>

If not, UCBChemEGrad will take care of the coverage. ;)</p>

<p>^ Nah, it’ll just be whisked off to the “CC thread deathbed” aka the Graduate School forum. Haha! :)</p>

<p>Bravo. …</p>

<p>Even if Cal and Michigan score well, xiggi and Hawkette will be the killjoys for each school, respectively. :D</p>

<p>EDIT: It will be out on the 28th…</p>

<p>pretty sure berkeley, michigan will own these rankings. but i honestly wouldn’t hold my breath, they have delayed this crap for a decade.</p>
