<p>Doesn’t seem real to me. I don’t think Penn is ranked 4th (too high for them considering they can’t keep their professor salaries up), and I don’t think Duke should have dropped.</p>
<p>^ Two different users in two different threads posted the same list. It’s not a guarantee but likely this is the official list.</p>
<p>I agree now. It does seem legit. It’s confusing though, because having seen some statistics, it just doesn’t add up that Duke dropped and Penn rose. Oh well.</p>
<p>
As opposed to anti-Penn ■■■■■■, such as yourself? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>45 Percenter,</p>
<p>You shouldn’t ■■■■■ so much, old-timer. It’s a young (wo)man’s game! :)</p>
<p>There is another thread from someone that saw the magazine last night with a lot more detailed information.</p>
<p>
Actually, you fit the definition of an internet “■■■■■” much more than I:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>[■■■■■</a> (Internet) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/■■■■■_(Internet]■■■■■">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/■■■■■_(Internet)</p>
<p>With all due respect. :)</p>
<p>Second time since ranking started that Duke has dropped past 8.</p>
<p>I just saw the ranking at a bookstore and here’s what I found: 99% of its enrolled freshmen graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school classes. That’s higher than UC Berkeley (98%) and UCLA (97%), the California flapships that are known to value class rank/GPA the most. The percentage for Harvard/Yale/Princeton is ~95%. Even though Penn’s SAT range isn’t really all that high among the peers, the end result is US News says Penn is “more selective” than Stanford.</p>
<p>The impact from a high “top-10%” seems significant. It’s apparently the main reason why UC Irvine is solidly in the top-50.</p>
<p>I’m also in Asia and in a negative time zone. Fail.</p>
<p>Speaking of fail: happymedstudent. Why all the negativity? If you went to a lower-ranked school you’re jealous, if you went to a higher-ranked school you’re petty. Either way it’s fail-fail.</p>
