<p>Good one Sparkeye. By now, it would have been customary for a poster who knows someone who knows someone who knows the second cousin of a friend of the roomate of the child of a doorman/coffee boy/janitor at the USNWR office to post leaked rankings. I suppose the rankings will be out in exactly 48 hours.</p>
<p>I think these days they avoid leaks with releasing the paper copy a week after the online. They did update the graduate rankings online a couple hours before scheduled this year, however.</p>
<p>I guess they’re not doing the thing where we have access to EVERYTHING for a day or two? They’re making people sign up for that college compass or whatever.</p>
<p>They made it free last year -_-</p>
<p>If they do what they’ve done the last few years, the 2013 rankings will be live on the US News web site by 10 or 11 PM EDT tomorrow (Tuesday) night.</p>
<p>I am surprised the day before the rankings are out there are no leaks. I for one am not anticipating any major moves in the top 20 this year, perhaps only a few ties. But I could be wrong.</p>
<p>there will be 4 schools ranked number 1 and 6 schools ranked number 5.</p>
<p>There might be a little movement. QS World University rankings came out today, and MIT moved up two spots to first, displacing Harvard after 6 years. Predict Princeton and Harvard will both remain 1 on US News rankings, and MIT might move to a 4 position, from its 5 spot. </p>

<p>Here’s the preview of this year’s Top 25 colleges. This was released a while ago by U.S. News. Note that there are 26 schools listed here due to ties (which implies that there will be two schools tie for 25th place or a three-way tie for 24th place). It seems that Wake Forest did not make it to the top 25 this year. </p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, why would Wisconsin move down in the ranking?</p>
<p>They’ve been falling</p>
<p>in terms of…?</p>
<p>I think they were in the 30s a couple years ago and now they’re at 45</p>
<p>Publics in general have been dropping recently</p>
