<p>Yes we know.. a huge fall indeed.</p>
<p>So? what???</p>
<p>We're tied with Georgia Tech and Case Western, which are also very good schools, so that's comforting to know</p>
<p>Such a travesty that UCSD dropped six places in the rankings. I thought you guys would have risen the ranks this year.</p>
<p>oh no. what are we all to do?</p>
<p>I'm thinking it's because UCSD let in a ****load of kids this year. That would decrease the "selectivity" of the school, which would make the school drop in rankings, I believe.</p>
<p>COLLEGE!:In the previous rankings we were higher ranked than both GTech and Case.........
Not comforting............</p>
<p>**** i cant get sleep at nite aft the drop in rankings.........</p>
<p>Um. Ok... get over it?</p>
<p>I'm on anti-depressants now...........</p>
<p>i almost killed myself when i found out.</p>
<p>i did kill myself when i found out.</p>
<p>Brb suicide</p>
<p>UCSD will rise up 7 slots in 2 years...</p>

<p>UCSB and UCD are neck to neck...</p>
<p>Among public universities, six University of California campuses appear in the top 15. UC Berkeley continued its top ranking in the public university category, although it dipped one spot from 20th to 21st overall. All UC campuses dropped from one to six positions in national rank, except for UC Davis, which improved one position to 13th. UCLA dropped one position both nationally (to No. 26) and among public institutions (to No. 4). UC San Diego dropped six positions to 38th nationally, and one position to 8th among publics.</p>
<p>The categories and weightings used by the magazine to compile the rankings remain the same as last year. They include academic reputation, or peer assessment (25 percent), faculty resources (20 percent), graduation and retention (20 percent), student selectivity (15 percent), financial resources (10 percent), graduation rate performance (5 percent) and alumni satisfaction, or alumni giving rate (5 percent).
**
This year, U.S. News also ranked undergraduate business** and engineering programs and some sub-disciplines. These rankings are based solely on surveys of reputation by deans and senior faculty at accredited institutions, and in these UC Berkeley fares very well (see details below).</p>
<p><<<<<^^^^^All the UC should improve and start up on their undergrad business programs... ..</p>
<p>oh well. life goes on</p>
<p>Oh no, someone please pass the arsenic.</p>
<p>I'm so transferring.</p>
