<p>just checked it out.</p>

3

<p>Oh wow it is, what a suprised. I can read it early now.</p>

4

<p>Add wake and Uva at 25 (theyre left on page 2)</p>

5

<p>What happened to Wake Forest? I thought their preview said it was in the top 25 but I don’t see it on the list.</p>

6

<p>See my post above</p>

7

<p>Is it me or there weren’t any changes for the LACs at all? Unless it hasn’t been updated yet online.</p>

8

<p>Wow, that is a excellent surprise it came out 3 hours early.</p>

<p>Columbia University actually jumped to 4th place. Wow. Congrats to Columbia University.</p>

<p>Berkeley went down to number 22, from 21 last year.</p>

<p>I can’t believe UPenn actually managed to beat MIT and Caltech this year.</p>

<p>Plus, as always, Harvard is #1</p>

<p>Boston College jumped ahead of NYU wow.</p>

9

<p>yeah Cornell got shafted.</p>

10

<p>I don’t know that much about all these schools, but there are some changes I never saw coming. I mean, not that rankings make that much of a difference to me. But yup…a couple surprises!</p>

<p>^bc above nyu was a shocker!</p>

11

<p>Dartmouth is still #1 for undergraduate teaching. I’m sure they’re very happy about that.</p>

<p>I’m not very familiar with the methodology of USNWR – why does UPenn always do so well?</p>

12

<p>MWAHAHA, Georgetown!</p>

<p>Tsk, poor CMU.</p>

13

<p>Columbia University going to 4th spot was the most surprising to me. </p>

<p>WOOHOO.</p>

<p>Columbia Uni is my dream uni <.<</p>

14

<p>

</p>

<p>Looks like Bates>Colby now and Harvey mudd fell</p>

15

<p>100-98: Harvard, Princeton, Yale
Big gap
93-90: Stanford, UPenn, Caltech, MIT, Dartmouth, Duke, UChicago</p>

<p>Interesting. If it can be claimed that the quality of undergraduate at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton is nonexistent or negligible, it can be claimed that the quality of education at Stanford, UPenn, Caltech, MIT, Dartmouth, Duke, and UChicago are negligible.</p>

16

<p>Nothing interesting in the LACs ranking.</p>

17

<p>^Sorry, retract my question. I only saw the first page and assumed all 25 would be on the same page.</p>

18

<p>nothingto - Why are you happy? If anything, more applicants would be applying to columbia, making acceptance harder. The year prior to that when I applied to law school, I was ecstatic when the law school I wanted to attend dropped from #2 to #3.</p>

<p>Haha, not even pretending.</p>

<p>I love how Princeton always takes #2. Beat by Harvard in the US news ranking and beat by Williams(LOL) in the Forbes ranking.</p>
