<p>Anyone think that UCLA's ranking should be higher? For a university that is known worldwide for its academic excellence and strength in research I think that UCLA should definitely be ranked higher than UVa, Washu, Notre Dame, and a few other schools. </p>

<p>It seems that most other countries in the world view UCLA very highly while the US seems to look down upon it. Why is this? </p>

<p>Do you agree, disagree? Why?</p>

<p>I think its ranked where it should be.</p>

3

<p>I’d put it in the 13-17 range</p>

4

<p>^^^^just behind Michigan. ;-)</p>

5

<p>underrated, or underranked?</p>

6

<p>underrated is synonymous with under-ranked. “Rated” and “Ranked” are the same word.</p>

7

<p>not in my book.</p>

<p>underranked - us news list</p>

<p>underrated - people’s perception of the school (oftentimes based on that one ranking but not always)</p>

8

<p>in that case schee, id call it underranked but not underrated</p>

9

<p>I think it is not underranked/underrated. It is placed where it should be, which is great. It may be overrated in Cali, but I wouldn’t know since I’m not from there.</p>

<p>i agree that it is underranked, but not underrated</p>

<p>here in CA (SoCal i might add), i think UCLA falls in the shadow of UCB, Stanford, and, to a lesser degree, Caltech, but everyone still knows it is a great school. i don’t hear anyone bashing it, unlike some other schools on this forum, and being admitted is an impressive achievement, especially considering how admissions were for the UCs this year.</p>
