Put these schools in order of prestige!

<p>NYU, Emory, Northwestern, Cornell, Columbia, USC, UCLA, UCSD, URochester, UChicago, UFlorida, Rutgers, Rice, and Penn State (University Park)</p>

<p>I think it would be....
1. Columbia
2. UChicago
3. Cornell
4. Northwestern/Emory
5. UCLA/UCSD
6. NYU/Rice/USC
7. Rutgers/URochester
8. Penn State (University Park)
9. UFlorida</p>

<p>In my opinion,</p>

<p>Columbia
Chicago, Northwestern, Cornell</p>

<p>NYU, UCLA
Rice
USC
Emory
UCSD
Florida</p>

<p>Rochester
Penn State
Rutgers</p>

<p>Prestige ranking?? Why? </p>

<p>If the interest is for getting a sense of how employers might view graduates of these colleges, then it goes something like this:</p>

<p>1st Cut: U Chicago, Rice, Columbia, Northwestern, Emory, Cornell</p>

<p>2nd Cut: USC, UCLA, NYU, UCSD </p>

<p>3rd Cut: U Florida, Penn State, U Rochester, </p>

<p>4th Cut: Rutgers</p>

<p>The above is a generic student guess from a business world perspective, but individual students from a school can absolutely move from one group to another depending on their personal talents.</p>
