10) Dartmouth</p>
<p>Someone else figured it out and based it on data that was released assuming weightings are the same. The schools in the next four or five are JHU, Cornell, Brown, Northwestern, and Chicago. So Columbia goes up really high all the sudden, and thats the only real change according to these rankings.</p>
<p>um. WUSTL will still be in the top 15...i mean it can't be like 11, 9, 11, 10, 11 and then go to like 17.</p>

<p>Calling Wharton a "nominal and undistinguished undergraduate school" is something I've never heard (it actually makes me laugh)... The undergrad division existed before the MBA division did and it has been ranked higher than the MBAs for awhile now.</p>
<p>Plus Penn is a great place and completely deserves to be where it is in the rankings. So much has changed at the university in the last 10 years that perhaps you are not aware of.</p>
<p>Deserves to be ahead of Stanford in the rankings? I'm not sure if people are aware, but "much has changed" there as well. Stanford and MIT continue to excel every year at a rate matching/superceding any ivy league school. Upenn is a fine institution, but to say that it surmounts these schools in particular? But whose to say that one ranking difference really amounts to anything? I think I am probably splitting hairs.</p>

<p>lol as an S student, I think it would be cool if thethoughtprocess' predictions were correct, but S hasn't been that high since the early 90's. I imagine Y would be at least #2 as well, considering the admissions data used is from the year before publication, and in that year, due to the switch to SCEA, Y had the lowest acceptance rate. I jused bs'ed these rankings though, but I imagine they'll be similar, maybe with H tied with Y for 1.</p>
<p>"i think Penn should be ranked somewhere between 8 and 10"</p>
<p>wouldn't that just be 9?</p>
<p>Penn has improved - from the Ivy safety to somewhere in the middle tied with Dartmouth, Brown, and Columbia. Putting it above these is ridiculous.</p>

<p>Oh man. Harvard slipping from the number 1 spot would be quite a scene...</p>
<p>Haha I would love it too!:)</p>
<p>Usnews would be selling QUITE A FEW COPIES due to this new revelation. Hey, Caltech held the spot once.</p>
<p>Haha imagine if Duke was number 1. Ivy League kids would be rioting on their Quads. Haha dare to dream</p>
<p>Imagine if they went crazy, and like, WUSTL was number 1.</p>
<p>I'd laugh so hard. It'd be pure MAYHEM.</p>
<p>OMG people would jump off bridges, WUSTL would receive 40,000 apps that year, Harvardinians would send death threats, and I would be lovin it. Wow that would be something. :)</p>
<p>How big is yield in these rankings? Because the yield at UR has become much much higher now because now half of the class is ED compared to about an eight in previous years...
Just a thought</p>
<p>1.Stanford
2. Harvard
3. Princeton
4. Cornell
5. Michigan
6. Yale
7. MIT/Caltch
8. University of Texas-Austin
9. Columbia
10. University of California-Riverside</p>
<p>I would like to see this in the new ranking hopefully.</p>
<p>The fact that everyone here has different ideas as to what school should be ranked where should tell you something.</p>
<p>The fact that these schools are constantly changing ranks every year on USNEWS should also tell you something.</p>
<p>I actually learned nothing legendofmax but that rankings are sole predictors of the best colleges.</p>
<p>Dudes, imagine if like Cornell was number 1? People in the other IVIES would then start jumping off their own cliffs!</p>
