<p>When do they come out? Who will make the biggest leap?</p>
<p>Princeton will jump back in the top spot!</p>
<p>Last year’s came out in August I believe… Still mesmerized how in 2008, Hopkins, Brown, and Northwestern were tied for 14th.</p>
<p>2009:
Northwestern +2
Johns Hopkins -1
Brown -2… out of the top 15… wow!!!</p>
<p>WUSTL +10??? =-O</p>
<p>I viewed the most recent list today…Yeshiva out of top 50?</p>
<p>I think that Oklahoma will move up a few spots, Clemson will move up a few spots, any more predictions from anybody?</p>
<p>I think Ohio State might crack into the top 50</p>
<p>Hopefully Maryland cracks the top 50 as well.</p>
<p>Ivys:</p>
<p>Harvard (+0, already at top spot)</p>
<p>Princeton (-1, won’t upstage Harvard after an increase in acceptance rate)</p>
<p>Yale (+1, jumps ahead of Princeton)</p>
<p>Columbia (+1, to #7 spot, bypassing UPenn)</p>
<p>UPenn (-1, falls to #8)</p>
<p>Dartmouth (+1, to #10)</p>
<p>Cornell (+2, to #12 if we can’t seriously beat WUSTL thats bad)</p>
<p>Brown (+4, to #12)</p>
<p>
I would be sooooo tickled if WUStL jumped to the #2 spot. :D</p>
<p>Do you guys think many public schools’ rankings will go up because of the high selectivity due to the economic crisis?</p>
<p>UC Berk should be ranked higher. Im rooting for Northeastern and WPI to move up!</p>
<p>Cal needs to be ranked a lot higher. My question is, however, in the profile when they say how selective it is, how is a school with >89% acceptance rate considered “selective”?</p>
<p>Cal has a >89% acceptance rate???</p>
<p>Graduate Schools-April
Best Colleges-August</p>
<p>The rankings for graduate schools will be released on April 23, 2009.</p>
<p>I predict a slight change in weights which show public schools improving several spots because this will sell more magazines and fit the popular feeling that public education is the way to go in these tough economic times.</p>
<p>I predict a similar slight change that’s equally arbitrary which adjusts things the other way in just a year or two.</p>
<p>USNews generates revenue manipulating these things.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, if USNews have not manipulated the criteria and the assigned value for each criterion, Berkeley would have been top 10, as it should have rightly been. </p>
<p>I predict Harvard to be holding the number 1 spot.
Hoping for Stanford to break the top 3.</p>
<p>IVYGRAD2007: Cal’s acceptance rate this year is 21.6, up by .1% from last year’s. However, the average SATs went up by 13 points to 2033. The median grade point average remains 3.91 (4.0 scale). [04.07.2009</a> - Almost 13,000 high school students offered admission to UC Berkeley](<a href=“http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2009/04/07_admissions.shtml]04.07.2009”>04.07.2009 - Almost 13,000 high school students offered admission to UC Berkeley)</p>
<p>Well, if pretty much everywhere becomes more selective, I don’t know if selectivity will drive any big changes.</p>
<p>WUSTL… lol. I’m putting my money that they are going to knock Dartmouth out to clinch the top 10 status… again.</p>
<p>As a fellow West Coaster (although soon to be East Coaster) I think it would be sweet if Stanford cracked the Top 3 and through Harvard, Yale, or Princeton out of the elite 3</p>
<p>Penn and Columbia swap places. Much gnashing of teeth ensues. Everyone applies to Penn because it must be the Easy Ivy now. Penn and Columbia swap places again in 2011…and on and on it goes, forever and ever amen.</p>
<p>^Nah, for the class of 2012, penn took 98.9% of it’s students from the top 10% of high school classes, which is weighted highly in US News. So expect penn to jump upwards. Also the difference between Penn and Col in overall score is large (93 to 90)</p>
<p>1) H 100
2) P, Y 98
4) S, M, Penn 94
7) Caltech 93
8) Col, Duke 91
10) Chicago 90
11) Dart 89
12) Cornell 87
13) Wustl, NW 86
15) JHU Brown - 85</p>
