<p>Where'd that list come from?</p>

4

<p>i made it up</p>

5

<p>dartmouth over mit, that made mi chuckle</p>

6

<p>Wake forest over Umich? Alexandre might have something to say about that....</p>

<p>I am very glad that you are not working for UsNews.</p>

7

<p>Interesting drops. Enlighten me, why would Penn drop so many places in a year when barely anything has changed?</p>

8

<p>Wow, that ranking sucks so hard. Both in real life and as a prediction.</p>

9

<p>I think Stanford, MIT, etc are stronger than Penn.</p>

<p>C-Revs, jpps1 since you guys presumably go to Penn I can see why you would disagree.</p>

<p>But your right that it is probably too much of a change. Switching Penn/Duke where Dart/Columbia would make it more consistent with last year.</p>

10

<p>and i think univ of rochester is higher than 36 - or at least, should be...</p>

11

<p>Haha, no I don't go to Penn, I just didn't think it would model the US News at all.</p>

12

<p>I can't believe this was started already. :eek: Duke and Penn are not going to drop (although they arguably should), and Brown will go up, passing JHU. I agree that Wake Forest will move up a couple notches.</p>

<p>just made this up</p>

14

<p>^
A rather, um, unusual ranking.</p>

15

<p>^ Dartmouth over caltech and penn, lol that made me chuckle too</p>

16

<p>I predict that UCLA will remain at #25 again this year... :rolleyes:</p>

17

<p>"I think Stanford, MIT, etc are stronger than Penn.</p>

<p>C-Revs, jpps1 since you guys presumably go to Penn I can see why you would disagree."</p>

<p>No, I agree that MIT and Stanford should be higher than Penn. But I don't really see how you can make an indisputable case for any other school ranking above Penn (or Columbia, Dartmouth, Duke, etc...). Which is why these large drops/increases are not accurate predictions.</p>

<p>This defines fruitless silly waste of time.</p>

<p>Ace:</p>

<p>putting those land-grant colleges up in the top 20 - nice try, but as the Pres of Yale recently pointed out the USNews ranking system is biased against the publics....Alumni giving and endowment tend to depress the publics' rankings. Thus, 20 is likely as high as they can go at least until they have 400 years of alumni connections....LOL</p>
