<p>I hate to say this, but what do you mean “again”? According to last year’s rankings, ([National</a> Universities Rankings - Best Colleges - Education - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college/national-search]National”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/college/national-search)) Penn is ranked 6th overall. </p>

<p>Plus, the new rankings come out at 12 AM ET (8/20)</p>

3

<p>Am I weird for not being happy? This’ll just make people roll their eyes at UPenn and call it overrated.</p>

<p>^ Penn has been up there in the past, I believe. The poster isn’t necessarily referring to last year.</p>

4

<p>I thought Penn was going to drop b/c of bad business jobs and higher acceptance rate (whereas most Ivies’ fell)</p>

5

<p>Rankings are ■■■■■■■■.</p>

6

<h1>4 is Penn’s highest ranking in history of US NEWS Rankings. So let’s hope that these rankings are real.</h1>

7

<p>I hope you know that there is little difference between #1 and #10.</p>

8

<p>This is the 4th time in 8 years that Penn has been ranked #4. And Penn has been ranked at 4-7 each year for the past 13 years:</p>

<p>It might take another 13 years before the Penn detractors out there start to believe it. :rolleyes:</p>

9

<p>congrats penn! hahah i am so happy i don’t know why I don’t even attend/can’t attend because I am not in my school’s top 10% but oh well I will always really respect the school wooo!</p>

10

<p>Wharton #1…untouchable!</p>

11

<p>Not that it matters on this Penn thread, but did anyone notice that when there is a tie the colleges are listed in alphabetical order . . . except at #8, where Columbia is listed ahead of Chicago? What a dis!</p>

12

<p>JHS:</p>

<p>It’s Columbia University ahead of University of Chicago. Same thing works for Stanford ahead of University of Pennsylvania.</p>

13

<p>Doubtless you are right, since Tulane is listed before Miami at #50, and UCSD before Rochester at #35. The magazine itself probably even says "University of . . . "</p>

<p>But if we are using proper names, shouldn’t Leland Stanford Jr. Memorial University be listed before Massachusetts Institute of Technology?</p>

14

<p>[World’s</a> Best Colleges: Top 400 - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://www.usnews.com/articles/education/worlds-best-colleges/2009/06/18/worlds-best-colleges-top-400.html]World’s”>http://www.usnews.com/articles/education/worlds-best-colleges/2009/06/18/worlds-best-colleges-top-400.html)</p>

<p>but don’t even look at ratings- i truly believe that if we didn’t give so much attention to our grad students too, we’d be #1. u know, there are opportunities at penn that u just can’t get anywhere else. it’s awesome 2 have access to all 12 schools. </p>

<p>penn is just an amazing place, and those who know it, don’t need a ranking to confirm it</p>

15

<p>

</p>

<p>I demand a name change to Ben Franklin University. Penn must appear directly after HYP.</p>

16

<p>people on this board should start getting used to saying HYPSMCP</p>

17

<p>Hy(p^2)smc</p>

18

<p>I paid off U.S. News…you’re all very welcome</p>

19

<p>Thanks Awped! Much love.</p>

<p>Damn I love Penn even more than I love bagels.</p>

20

<p>It should be WHYPS because MIT/Caltech are too different to be put in the same boat and because Wharton is considered almost Harvard-quality by many and because WHYPS just sounds cool.</p>
