<p>I like where UCI is placed =D.</p>

<p>so jas0n, how long do you think until the bitter UCD kids start whining about another statistical error (or whatever the hell it was)?</p>

<p>lol WINK WINK :]. jkjk, I <3 Davis.</p>

<p>the liiiink doesn't work. it got shortened so it's not the whole URL</p>

<p>what # is UCI? :O</p>

<p>vc1188 is right but i went to US news website and if i saw the correct list, UCI is at #44?</p>

<p>that debate over uci and ucd was ridiculous i hope this shuts them up a bit.</p>

<p>eh, all ucs dropped rankings... uci was 40th</p>

<p>eh whatever. i got into both uci and ucd. but go aggies lol!</p>

<p>well cmon, ucd is like farmland :) that automatically puts irvine above it.</p>

<p>Like many predicted, UCD and UCI are literally one place away from each other.</p>

<p>Mehh..rankings are very overrated.</p>

<p>Yeah.</p>

<p>As long as your school is recruited for whatever major you're doing, you're in good standing in terms of prestige/ranking/etc.</p>

<p>As long as UCI remains in the top 50, a fluctuation between the high 30s and low 40s is not so bad. </p>

<p>Even after the major expansion ends, it could still see fluctuation in rankings. Look at USC - that school shot up from 41 to 26 in the past 15 years and it has been around since 1880.</p>

<p>Also, US News is slow to capture some of the developments of campuses. This school year for UCI, on-campus housing (which I believe is one of the categories for the rankings) has risen to at least 45% of the student population, which is one of the highest or the highest in the UC system. However, US News still has it at 34%.</p>

<p>WHo cares about rankings? UCI and UCD are like pretty much the same. It's just dumb to try to prove that one is better than the other.</p>
