<p>good game, can we stop all this nonsense thats plagueing these UC forums now please..it's not constructive</p>
<p>but this is fun</p>
<p>"good game, can we stop all this nonsense thats plagueing these UC forums now please..it's not constructive"</p>
<p>I agree that it's not constructive, but at least it isn't detrimental. The way that these users have propagated false information about their school to attract prospective students is detrimental. It's better to spend time getting rid of the biased and false information than having them on the forums. Remember, many graduating seniors use this site to decide which school they will attend in the fall, so it's only fair that correct information is available to them.</p>
<p>I agree that the way some people have been defending certain schools is pretty ridiculous haha</p>
<p>"I agree that the way some people have been defending certain schools is pretty ridiculous haha"</p>
<p>It's not even about them defending their schools, it's about them using biased data and false information to make their school look good. It's one thing to celebrate your school's qualities, but it's completely different to make up false claims and propagate them.</p>
<p>Yup, that's what I meant was ridiculous</p>
<p>I did not report any false information. Your argument above makes absolutely no sense. I make claims that are verifiable.

Facts posted about this years applicant pool were clearly stated to be about the applicant pool and not the admitted students. Additionally the link to the source was provided.</p>
<p>"If UCD slowly gains back its ranking, doesn't that perpetuate the negative momentum even more?"</p>
<p>Of course it was negative for UCD to drop that much in one year. How would the school moving back up be negative. Of course it is good for the rankings to move up. The problem won't be fixed in one year though.</p>
<p>"Users of the rankings would see that UCD's ranking dropped drastically but did not regain it at the same rate, hence concluding that there is in fact something wrong with the school."</p>
<p>2007 Users would see only that UCD rose up and not make any other conclusions. You are assuming that the users knew of the 2006 problem in the first place. WRONG. Users from 2007 would also notice that UCD rose while other UC's dropped. This will bring a gradual positive change for UCD.</p>
<p>"One would think that U.S. News would want to quickly correct this misconception of the school (if indeed it was caused by what you claim as a mistake in reporting)"</p>
<p>The mistake in reporting is not my claim but rather a verifiable fact. The links for it have been provided on this forum multiple times. Use the search forum tool if you doubt the facts.</p>
<p>"but yet you are offering the theory that U.S. News does not want to do that"</p>
<p>Where did I ever offer this theory?</p>
<p>"and wants to have UCD slowly regain its rank back." </p>
<p>I never stated any such nonsense. I said it will take a while to move back up because of the momentum created through negative perceptions due to the sudden drop in 2006.</p>
<p>"So, are you saying that U.S. News is only biased against UCD?"</p>
<p>I'll thank you not to put words in my mouth. I never stated any such bias on the part of US News, and no I don't believe any such bias exists.</p>

<p>These are only two examples of you propagating a biased ranking. Why rank them in the first place? To show that UCD is ranked higher in terms of applicant data? How laughable. That ranking achieves nothing yet you kept highlight that UCD is ranked 4th in the overall applicant pool. This is highly biased and useless information.
You also dismiss everything about UCI, yet upholding the "absolute" truth that UCD is better in every aspect. This cannot be true as college experiences are different for everyone. Again, a highly biased propaganda for UCD.</p>
<p>And I'm not only referring to you, I'm also referring to CE Man saying that U.S. News has again made a mistake in its rankings. This is false: 2007's ranking is corrected for the misreporting.</p>
<p>Now, explain your "negative momentum." You wouldn't want people to think that you are just throwing out random words that you don't know anything about, do you? No? Then explain it.</p>
<p>"The ONLY UC with all 5 graduate schools"</p>
<p>Good catch, Worried_Student. Yes, explain this. What's all 5 graduate schools? What about optometry school? Does Davis have that? No, so it doesn't have "all" 5 graduate schools. Is this not false information?</p>
<p>Those are not facts they are my opinions. They are no different than you saying Sacramento is boring or the weather in so cal is superior. Superior according to you maybe....</p>

<p>Oh, again with this false information.</p>
<p>No more than you dismiss UCD dude...</p>
<p>I CLEARLY stated appliant pool NO bias.</p>
<p>I cannot account for CE Man's posts nor is it fair for you to hold me accountable for them. </p>
<p>I already explained to you, go read it again.</p>
<p>tsk tsk...false information...just like the nazis</p>
<p>hahahaha</p>
<p>Prove me wrong
Davis is the only UC with all five graduate schools.</p>
<p>UC Davis’ five professional schools—the School of Education, the School of Law, the Graduate School of Management, the School of Medicine and the School of Veterinary Medicine—are a combination unique within the University of California system. </p>

Again I ask, this matters why? He isn't going there for graduate school!</p>
<p>That's like me bragging about Oregon's top 15-20 Chemistry department. I don't give a crap about it since it's not my major!</p>
<p>"No more than you dismiss UCD dude..."</p>
<p>I don't dismiss UCD based on subjective views, but the twisted objected views such as the 2007 ranking. And a clear difference between you and me is that I don't dismiss a school to make my school look better. Your posts have been to the effect of "UCI is bad, therefore go to UCD."</p>
<p>"I CLEARLY stated appliant pool NO bias."</p>
<p>Then why post your useless ranking over and over again while highlighting UCD's rank? What purpose does that serve? Oh, that's right, it serves as a clear indication of bias.</p>
<p>"I cannot account for CE Man's posts nor is it fair for you to hold me accountable for them. "</p>
<p>If you do not want to be accountable for CE Man's post, then don't state the same conclusions that he/she did while giving thanks to his/her resources.</p>
<p>"I already explained to you, go read it again."</p>
<p>No, you have not. And if you have, why don't you answer my questions? Furthermore, how is this "negative momentum" relevant in college rankings and is it actually observed in college rankings other than your own nonprofessional hunch that it does? If it's not applicable to the college rankings, then you have no point in using it as an argument.</p>

<p>Do you realize how many graduate schools there are? There are business, medical, dental, veterinary, optometry, pharmacy, nursing, public health, etc. For you to claim that it has all 5 of them is wrong. There are more than 5 graduate schools.</p>
<p>Don't claim I am passing false information. It is an accomplishment of the university to have all of the professional schools. I have a right to have pride in my university and share with the students on here about what is offered at UCD.</p>

<p>How is that not wrong information. There are more than 5 different types of graduate schools. You say that UCD has ALL 5 of them. Your statement is clearly wrong.</p>
