<p>I've applied to UChicago, UVirginia, Washington U in St. Louis, UPenn, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, and Boston College. Any thoughts on which of the above would be the best for my aforementioned major choices?</p>
<p>USNews History/PoliSci Ranking (2005):</p>
<p>Chicago: 4th/8th
UVA: 19th/37th
WashU: 39th/16th
UPenn: 13th/29th
Northwestern: 17th/21st
JHU: 9th/37th
Boston College: 51st/NR</p>
<p>They seem to have somewhat different life styles. In addition to general strength of major, I hope you're considering that, too.</p>
<p>Sam Lee,</p>
<p>Where did you find those rankings?</p>
<p>He found it in USNews 2005 edition. I've consulted other sources and they seem pretty accurate.</p>
