US News Rankings

<p>Anyone know when they're coming out? I really hope that Cornell rises, as our endowment is bigger, our acceptance rate is smaller and the caliber of our students is higher.</p>

<p>We probably won't go up significantly, at least not for a few years as the stats they use are a few years old. USNews rankings come out in mid-August, I believe, just in time for the new batch of Seniors starting to look at colleges.</p>

<p>oh, so the stats are not up to date.</p>

<p>I think they're 1 or 2 years old?</p>

<p>that's retarded. US News might as well put out the 2005 rankings this year, and say "this is what your school was ranked when you decided to go there". Hopefully, Mercury :D your class was pretty good, and then we should remain stable or go up, perhaps 10-11-12.</p>

<p>August 18th, move in day.</p>

<p>Wow, interesting. Source?</p>

<p>some kid on auto admit .com</p>

<p>I heard early August. But the real question is when is it going to get leaked onto CC????</p>

<p>Yeah, last year I think someone got a leaked version and released it on CC.</p>

<p>Cornell is apparently in the midst of a $3 billion campaign. I read this on the cornell library website.</p>

<p>So apparently someone on CC got a copy of the rankings ahead of time...he provided photo evidence and is a frequent/trustworthy poster.

<p>If he's correct, Cornell moved up 1 spot to 12.</p>

<p>Ah ha. Well that's a good news.
I think this year's rating makes more sense than last year's. When I read that Duke and UPenn were ahead of MIT and Stanford I was like "Dubya Tee Eff??"</p>

<p>And Cornell's peer review score remains ahead of Dartmouth, Duke, Penn and Brown.</p>

<p>Next movement upward into top 10 will have to wait until next year when this year's admit numbers are factored in.</p>

<p>I like! </p>

<p>I also like the fact that Penn is not #4. These rankings seem a bit more realistic than they were last year.</p>

<p>Good thing, because the fake leak that came on cc a few days ago had cornell at 15...but also penn at 3 and some other wackies...with jhu in front of cornell and the ties weren't in alphabetical order. </p>

<p>JHU moved down on this one a pretty good amount, wow. And WUSTL isn't as high anymore...I hadn't heard of it besides for it being ranked high (And I really don't know why...probably because I'm not near it). LOL and caltech and MIT are tied! That's a good rivalry! (and the rankings are for 2005 this year I'm pretty sure..because last rankings were 2004 I think). Chicago PLUS SIX! WOW</p>

<p>But go Cornell!</p>

<p>wo it says cornell is 11th in business</p>

<p>"Schools that had major features about them--UCLA, Cornell U, and Liberty U!"</p>

<p>Woah! That makes me want to go to the book store and check out the freature. Go Cornell!</p>

<p>O and Cornell is 10th in sjtu US rankings</p>

<p>Sounds pretty reasonable. </p>

<p>Mark my words: Cornell will be in the top ten within the next two years (and it well should be).</p>

<p>I was actually expecting a bigger jump this year (maybe ahead of Chicago and on par with Dartmouth/Columbia). No worries though, our time will come.</p>
