<p>Thanks for letting us know. No, really...</p>

3

<p>...i like the stats, but I bet more people would appreciate your research if it was a bit more organized; though I doubt it's possible on CC, something like a chart might draw more attention</p>

4

<p>California Inst. of Technology 7 8 5 4 4 4 1 9 9 9 7 7 5 5 4 5</p>

<p>From 9th to 1st to 4th?</p>

<p>Interesting race they're running there.</p>

5

<p>In the same year that Cal Tech was 1st, MIT was 3rd. Princeton was 4th (even though it's been #1 from then on).</p>

<p>Maybe that was a year for technology? It was y2k after all.</p>

6

<p>Eh...maybe. I just don't see how a school can jump around like that. I don't have the applicable statistics on hand, but it seems awfully strange to me.</p>

7

<p>that was the year USNews changed their grading system because they thought it'll be boring to have HYP tied for first year after year.</p>

8

<p>actually, the BIG change to their methodology was designed to keep those publics down...</p>

9

<p>Penn gets a gold star for "most-improved"</p>

10

<p>My Gold Star vote goes to Wash U! From 24 > 11!</p>

11

<p>i second that for washU.....same for northwestern</p>

12

<p>I assume Cornell would be higher ranked if not for the NYS colleges right?</p>

13

<p>Brown is ranked way too low. Yeah, I may be an incoming freshman there, but seriously, it is too low. These US News rankings have always been questionable.</p>
