<p>Hi Everyone,</p>
<p>What are your thoughts and opinions over UCSD's accelerating progress as a university? UCSD is rising in ranks which each passing year, which is a remarkable accomplishment, especially when considering it's relative youth as a campus. </p>
<p>Here is the article that sparked my interest in the question: </p>
<p>UCSD</a> chancellor off to fast start Page 1 of 3 | UTSanDiego.com</p>
<p>I would appreciate any discussion here on the topic. It's important that current and incoming UCSD students understand their importance in shaping UCSD's caliber as an educational institution.</p>
<p>NOTE: This thread was posted a few hours ago until I realized I had not posted it on the correct forum. Just letting ya'll know. :)</p>
<p>Personally, I don’t trust rankings.
Forbes just recently came out with their top 300 college list just last week. UCSD was ranked 6th among the UCs, behind UCB,UCLA,UCSB,UCD,UCI respectively.
I don’t know what formula they used, but UCSD is certainly probably 3rd when it comes to the strength of their programs.</p>
<p>UCSD is improving far more rapidly than these rankings report.
The college experience for every single person certainly differs. You can’t expect to become a success only because you go to a top college.
UCSD is certainly a solid school with respected programs and alumni. Incoming students shouldn’t use just rankings to choose a college.</p>
<p>Forbes isn’t really a reliably source for college rankings.</p>
<p>I wrote a really long post in response to this but my session had apparently timed out so I lost it all when I tried to submit it. I will now sit here angrily and contemplate writing it again.</p>
<p>@$KingsElite$, I’d love to read it if you decide to write it again =D</p>
<p>I second that. Would read if you posted it again.</p>
