<p>As a potential English major, this makes me very happy. I'm also excited to see that Penn's programs continue to rise to the top in national rankings.</p>
<p>Nice. I wonder what this portends for the coming NRC rankings?</p>

<p>I’m applied as a potential English major too!! =)</p>
<p>because we all know how reliable rankings are lol</p>
<p>but unfortunately, it’s a necessary evil…</p>
<p>I’ve always wondered-this may be a stupid question-but how exactly do such graduate school rankings apply and/or not apply to undergraduates?</p>
<p>they may apply in that graduate faculty may teach undergraduate courses and undergraduates can do research with those faculty members</p>
<p>they may not apply in that neither of the above two options may be possible</p>
<p>in general, better programs have better resources and better connections</p>
