<p>is this school back on the rise or wat? it used to be in the top 20 i heard. however, now it is all the way at 40 i believe. last year i tihnk it was at 35. can a school be falling this bad?</p>
<p>Rankings are a funny thing. While there music school isn't as prestigous as it once was, this is a very very strong school and I wouldn't doubt its academic rigor</p>
<p>Eastman is the number one music school in the country
UR's own music department has never been prestigious....</p>
<p>The problem is because more people are applying to it and less people are going to it (Very low yield). Also 50% are admitted.
Nonetheless it has top Polysci, Econ., Sciences, Music, Medicine, Optics, Teaching, and Business
Also is in the top 10 for students who go on to get terminal degree in field</p>
<p>Also the students get a lot of attention, NO TAs (Few top schools can brag about that)</p>
<p>overall how is the school, is it worht spending priv tuition on? is it reputable? im doin predental by the way</p>
<p>Yes, it is very very well known as a pre-med school. It is a really really great school, with a ton of resources available. I would spend the money on UR.</p>
