<p>*I go to NYU so I’m probably biased, but does anyone else think NYU could/should be ranked higher? *</p>
<p>Not until it has the financial geniuses at Stern figure out how to provide decent aid instead of leaving too many drowning in debt.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha! and the arbitrary cutoff for your “great” satellite school is #25…:rolleyes:<br>
I beg to differ. There are some outstanding, fantastic schools in the 26-50 category and even the 51-100.</p>
<p>*No superscoring hurts the UCs as has been said many times before. *</p>
<p>I realize that the UCs (and some other schools) do not superscore the SAT (or ACT) for admittance…HOWEVER…do we know if they also stop short of reporting best scores for sections for ranking and other reporting purposes?</p>
<p>if so, then that should change. I understand not super-scoring for admittance, but not for reporting if others are doing it.</p>
<p>Am I the only one who feels like NYU is kind of underrated (I’m biased cause I do go there lol)? I mean we have so many good departments as well as our acceptance rate is going pretty low for some schools (I heard CAS was around 23% last year). I feel like we get killed cause of bad FA and just an image people have of us as being an overpriced school.</p>
<p>Nothing this year surprises me. Of course it never comes as a suprise that no one ever accurately predicts the rankings. Who would have guessed a 5 way tie for number 5? And some had Stanford as high as number 3. Okay we’ll see how things pan out next year.</p>
<p>“Am I the only one who feels like NYU is kind of underrated…”</p>
<p>Antisemitism.</p>
<p>I like how some people think there can be a list of ranked colleges that everybody will agree on.</p>
<p>“IMO rankings 1-10 are all pretty much all amazing, 11-25 are great, 26-50 good, 51-100 decent.”</p>
<p>So UCLA is great and Michigan is merely good. I see that Michigan has a PA score of 4.5 this year and that UCLA has a PA score of 4.2. Substantial difference in my opinion. Therefore I would say Michigan is great, but the UCLA is still VERY good. :-)</p>
<p>we know Cal and Berkeley are the coolest, most amazing schools, with the most beautiful campuses,</p>
<p>???</p>
<p>Ok…admittedly, it’s been about 5 years since I’ve been on Cal’s campus, but I was on UCLA’s campus last winter…if those 2 schools are considered to be the “most beautiful” campuses by some, then I would argue that those people haven’t ventured much out of Calif to see what really gorgeous campuses look like. lol</p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong…they’re not ugly, but these aren’t schools that would make the gorgeous campus lists.</p>

<p>Yes, NYU should be ranked higher, and it is in the rankings which emphasize research and scholarship (which is what distinguishes universities from LACs). In the respected, widely watched and quoted (around the world if not in the US) Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), recently released for 2011, NYU is ranked 29th in the world and 21st in the US.</p>

<p>On the same site one can also check the world rankings by specific scientific fields and subjects.</p>
<p>Could someone pleae post a link to last year’s rankings? I enjoy searching for any large fluctuations.</p>
<p>“NYU is kind of underrated…”</p>
<p>Is it possible that people who are attracted to NYC (which would include NYU folks) tend to have a bit of an inflated opinion of themselves? Sorta like, “How can I/we not be great, we’re in NYC!!??” NYC is the undisputed center for American financial companies, fashion, publishing, jewelry, advertising, literature, art, etc. It must be painful for the NYC to get buried by Boston regarding just about anything related to colleges.</p>
<p>To Toledo</p>
<p>If you click on any of the universities shown in the ARWU link in my post above, you will get its rankings over the years. NYU has been ranked around the 30th place in the world since 2004 - no large fluctuations here. </p>

<p>Depends on what you consider a minority, wrt %s. I dont get that sense when Ive watched the recent UCLA graduation youtube videos. Here are a couple… [Video one](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1PPRsRQsiw”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1PPRsRQsiw</a>), which is the 2 hour plus video the U ran live of L&S graduation. Watch from about 7:00-31:00 because it takes so long for the students to enter the Drake Stadium. Of the 4,300 students who entered, whites and Asians were well represented along with Afro-Americans and Hispanic-Ams, again as is a big school. </p>
<p>Heres another of a graduates self-made[video-2]( <a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpJjL4tf0wA”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpJjL4tf0wA</a>). This is a good video because you can watch it on 720 Hi-Def and expand it to full-screen mode. But we know that L&S at UCLA is probably white-dominated, as Engineering is by Asians (I dont know if E students are allowed to partake in L&Ss party atmosphere graduation). Just as a note, white tassels are BA recipients and gold are BS: this tends to run along racial lines with whites and Asians, respectively.</p>

<p>Youre talking about commerce undoubtedly. But UCLA and Cal have good commerce connections also, esp, UCLA in SoCal, Cal in NorCal. The larger firms and companies cant afford to be highly school nepotistic however, so nepotism would have to generally run heavily amongst boutique firms/companies. UC grads dominate CAs health and [law](<a href=“Attorney Demographics”>http://members.calbar.ca.gov/search/demographics.aspx</a>)professions.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Just to be fair, it is a UC med school. Two, UC has 185K undergrads and the eight Ivies have, what, around 60K?</p>
<p>Mantori, I googled for 15 minutes and then gave up. Then I searched here on cc for another 10 minutes. Still nothing. I know its out there somewhere.</p>
<p>
Oh stop being bitter. The USNWR top-25 is hardly an arbitrary cutoff. </p>
<p>Aside from being used by everyone in discussing everything, it’s actually also somewhat acknowledged by USNWR itself. For example, the recent preview of the USNWR rankings released the listing of the top 25 schools in alphabetical order.</p>
<p>Not top 20, not top 15, top 25. When UCLA slips out of the top 25, you can both do your happy dance. -.-</p>
<p>(Personally, I’d just say the 11-25 are “good” schools. Below that from 25-50 and it’s merely “above average”.)</p>
<p>I’d say that anything after 5 is good. I mean afterall, there are 9 schools within the top 5 in the country. Geez…</p>
<p>
I agree. And Cal + Berkeley is the coolest, most amazing school. :)</p>
<p>^^^^I was waiting for that one. ;-)</p>
