<p>more an informational thread than a "bragging" one. but if you insist on characterizing it as bragging, then perhaps you should condemn your own thread bragging about harvard's #1 ranking in the selectivity column (gotta find some silver lining when you <em>fall</em> to #2, right?).</p>
<p>Don't you see a quantitative/qualitative difference between bragging about being #1 in something and bragging about being tied for 11th?????</p>
<p>Its like those schools that issue a proud press release when they are included in PR's "Best 361 Colleges"!</p>
<p>May be we should start a thread titled,"Harvard ranked 28th out of 31 in student satisfaction"......That will be one thread some one will never post.</p>
<p>Ahh... the old "best defense is a good offense" approach for which daddy Simba is so justly famous!</p>
<p>again, i started this as an informational, not bragging, thread. there is a definite "qualitative difference" between <em>these</em> two, which evidently you fail to grasp. note my thread title: it borrows its format from the earlier "Princeton # 1 (sole position)" about the overall rankings. i thought, perhaps, some board readers might be interested in princeton's standing in the engineering rankings. am i not allowed to inform them of these and other rankings, unless princeton finishes first? should i, in the future, run all potential thread ideas by you first, so you can separate the wheat from the bragging chaff? i don't doubt you'd enjoy moderating the board of a rival, but past experience shows that constituents don't take well to your mod "style." </p>
<p>It's hard to attack Princeton's engineering from below.</p>
<p>Interesting facts: Harvard Engineering has a lower admit rate than Princeton, and its faculty research efforts are higher per capita than Princeton's. Much smaller to be sure (at this point) but hardly "lower" in any significant respect.</p>
<br>
<p>graduate, again. you just can't help it, can you?</p>
<br> [QUOTE=""]
<p>hardly "lower" in any significant respect</p>
<br>
<p>except, perhaps, peer ranking and overall ranking. say, what is harvard's overall ranking this year, anyway? i don't believe you've mentioned it yet. thanks in advance for offering it.</p>
<p>12% vs 17% at Princeton, I think.</p>
<p>quit ducking and dodging: what is harvard's overall undergraduate ranking this year?</p>
<p>By who, your honor?</p>
<p>by u.s. news. you know, the magazine whose <em>graduate</em> rankings you've been citing?</p>
<p>"the old "best defense is a good offense" approach"</p>
<p>yup....learned from the master.</p>
<p>A "posterX" admirer, eh?</p>
<p>i'm still waiting.</p>
<p>Here's something interesting to read while you're waiting:</p>
<p>Still lagging behind Stanford, which has had Summer Research College for several years now.</p>
<p>Sounds like a housing option for people who find themselves on campus over the summer.</p>
<p>still waiting.</p>
<p>It's not any different than the link you cited.</p>
