<p>Wow, that's pretty weird.</p>

3

<p>The editor's kid got rejected from UCLA....jk lol.</p>

4

<p>i remember reading that book last year and it gave UCR and UCSC a higher rating.......hah thats why i dont really trust it :rolleyes:</p>

5

<p>well berkeley is still better than UCLA so it really doesn't matter</p>

6

<p>I knew I should have applied to UCR instead of UCLA... :rolleyes:</p>

7

<p>who gives a s*** about what princeton thinks</p>

<p>Just look at the USNWR rankings.. they're generally pretty consistent and reliable, and that's why they're the most popular rankers.</p>

<p>(Seriously, who gives a crap what princeton review thinks!)</p>

<p>ps. Anyone find it tacky how UCLA sent in with their admissions packet a review by some no-name publisher that ranked UCLA at number 2? Kind of funny how the whole article wasn't even really about that.. it was more about why princeton was number 44.</p>
