<p>In the next couple of years is UCR going to move up or down in the rankings?</p>
<p>i think it will probly stay pretty much the same</p>
<p>it will move up because of UC Merced.... no one has gauranteed admission to UCR anymore cuz they have gaurenteed admission to merced.... so UCR will move up a notch in selectivity</p>
<p>So in other words UCM is the new "dumpster" school of the UC system?</p>
<p>yep... that is correct. if you thought riverside was a bad city... wait til you see merced!!! omg</p>
<p>It can't be worse than Riverside! Riverside has a high crime rate, and terrible weather..</p>
<p>merced is worse than riverside.... trust me. at least riverside is like a 45 minute to 1 hour drive from LA.... merced is close to NOTHING except yosemite national park.</p>
<p>UC Riverside is actually going up every year in the US News Ranking.
2 years ago it was at 120ish. Last year it was at 87. This year we're at 81. </p>
<p>I predict by the end of 2010ish we'll be at least in the top 50's. UCR is rapidly growing and it'll just keep going up while the other UC's are idling. </p>
<p>That's if... you want to go by their "hard" facts.</p>
<p>It's no the upswing, people.</p>
<p>Its gone down to 85!</p>
<p>no, it's gone UP to 85.</p>
<p>Wasn't last year 83? The latest ranking for UCR is 85.</p>
<p>Seems like UCSC made a huge jump this year and landed in 68.</p>
<p>whoa that is a huge jump</p>
<p>UCSD and UCI are making progress too.</p>
<p>I remember UCSC and UCR were pretty close last year in ranking. However UCSC rose to rank 68 and UCR lower their ranking to 85.</p>
<p>since when were those rankings so accurate</p>
<p>I think UCR's ranking would go up a lot if they put all the buildings onto trucks and moved the campus OUT of Riverside.</p>
<p>909</p>
<p>How are the other UCs idling?! All of the UCs have been progressing like crazy...especially the mid tiers </p>
<p>But rankings don't really mean much.</p>
<p>Students attending low-ranking colleges tend to believe things like "Rankings don't mean much anyway," because it's easier than admitting that they are affiliated with a truly inferior school. It's called "cognitive dissonance."</p>
<p>909</p>
<p>Riverside will probably be in the top 70 within two years due to their writing and medical programs.</p>
