<p>There's no rank 24...couldn't they have given us that spot? :)</p>

<p>It's kind of sad to see our fellow Banana Slugs take such a hard dip, btw</p>

5

<p>Rice, Georgetown, William & Mary, Tufts are all ranked way too low.</p>

6

<p>yeah true sucks that banana slugs took a hard dip, they are like our retarded little brothers, we don't expect them to be the best but still want them to do good :) but highlanders went up way high :)</p>

7

<p>Man...I used to go to UCSC. I guess this makes me feel good :p</p>

8

<p>Too bad these rankings favor privates.</p>

9

<p>what criteria do they use for their rankings? cause we should be at least 100 places above USC</p>

10

<p>Top 20 are all private. What a joke.</p>

11

<p>"what criteria do they use for their rankings? cause we should be at least 100 places above USC"</p>

<p>amen to that one!</p>

12

<p>UCSD is on the rise and will eventually be ranked higher than USC and be ALMOST equivalent to UCLA within the next decade...according to recent polls.</p>

13

<p>Where did you see these rankings? US News & World hasn't posted them yet. :confused:</p>

<p>I'll check the College Search forum. :)</p>

14

<p>this is probably the princeton review list...</p>

15

<p>for mr muffin - </p>

<p>Undergraduate</a> Ranking Criteria and Weights - US News and World Report</p>

16

<p>oo thanks!</p>

<p>lol they put alumni giving as one of the factors :rolleyes:.</p>

<p>yeah, the criteria favors privates for sure. that's why we should all look at washington monthly where ucla's #2! yayyy!!!</p>

17

<p>hurrah no change. a lot of the rankings are based on alumni giving, peer review and retention rate, all things that are up to the students</p>

18

<p>criteria favors privates and we're STILL ahead of USC... even if it's by a little</p>

19

<p>how is ucla 21st in selectivity if Cal is 14th? And how are we tied with U Chicago and Johns Hopkins? Those are way harder to get into ucla AND Cal. And Cal tied with Cornell in selectivity? Cmon we all know that ucla and cal admit a ton of idiots. hell i see them everyday on campus.</p>
