darn, Vandy ranked 23, NU 35, BU 41, Temple 85, in primary care.
@PPofEngrDr - Private schools do better in research not primary care. Look at the primary care, dominated by public schools. Thatās why there are two separate lists. UCSF is the ideal school and thatās why itās so difficult to get (even for in-state)!!
@srk2017 i know just throw that primary care towel : O:-)
Penn and Vandy are at the top with an average of 246 (USMLE scores).
I donāt have a favorite rankings site. But this more close to reality site released their rankings couple of weeks ago (which I didnāt bother to mention here). Though NU, BU and Baylor all missed the top 50 mark narrowly this time unlike last year, those 3 fall in the overall score range between 79 and 80 ( I calculated based on the weighted sums of the different metrics mentioned in their methodology). Brown was in the 76 range.

@rk2017 - did it rank UCLA above UCSF? (Not filtering properly)
Yes, perhaps they are right about it or may be not, but far better than your favorite site doing a tie between NYU and Stanford at 3 last year 
I will tell my DS that his housing arrangement is done, should he decide to apply UCSF. :)) :))
@rk2017, there is no way UCLA is better than UCSF, so that site is not reliable LOL.
@PPofEngrDr - I didnāt know you have a house in SF
@srk2017 I donāt, but I know someone who does. ~O)
@PPofEngrDr - Good for you, hope you are getting heavy discount, otherwise 1 BR costs $3K+ and there are no basements

That may be because UCLA edges out UCSF in 2 categories, very narrowly in Academic reputation (with a 40% weightage) and very handily in Employer reputation (though just 10% weightage). The other 2 categories they are more or less identical (with 25% weightage for each)
hmmm, Academic reputation also UCSF should be better as per I know.
50% weightage to āreputationā.
Need to study their methodology - how they measure reputation.
May be I can apply their methodology to value brands!

Surprising to see Stanford, Cornell, University of Illinois and University of Cincinnati are all ranked at #48
College Admissions Scam:
The more I read the more I am thinking - rich folks had bribed up to $1.2 million to get their kids to āeliteā schools, mostly on athletics quota -
What are they teaching their kids?
Lying, cheating is ok?
You can buy anything in the world?
Or were they āashamedā of their kids going to non-elite schools?
Wish they had spent that money on teaching themselves about ethics.
@rk2017 Are you sure the rankings are accurate? For the āmedicineā category that you linked, MIT is number 9. MIT doesnāt have a medical schoolā¦ are they instead ranking preparation for medicine in the undergrad?
Not a good site to evaluate the college rankings
