<p>I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to make a list. I’m sure it’ll be available everywhere in a day or two.</p>

<p>And it’s only official in the sense that I typed it from the copy of the new issue that I bought at Grand Central Station earlier this afternoon. I was curious, even though my son has already graduated from high school and is starting at the U of Chicago. And if you think I would take the time to make all this stuff up, you’re wrong!</p>

<p>Donna</p>

63

<p>So UMich dropped out from the top 25?</p>

64

<p>Okay then, where is Fordham in the nationals, please? Thank you.</p>

<p>P.S. Grand Central gets it first. Where we live its going to be at least monday before its on the shelves of Barnes and Nobles.</p>

65

<p>Where’s Wake Forest ranked? Thanks for your time.</p>

66

<p>OK, but this time when I say it’s the last, I mean it! Michigan: 26. Wake Forest: 28, tied with Tufts – USC is 27. (UNC Chapel Hill is 30.) Fordham: 61, tied with Clemson.</p>

<p>31-35 are Brandeis, William & Mary, NYU, BC, and a 5-way tie (!) for # 35, among Ga. Tech, Lehigh, UC San Diego, Rochester, and Wisconsin.</p>

<p>Donna</p>

67

<p>What is the Peer Assessment score for Berkeley? ;)</p>

68

<p>Many thanks. Fordham on the rise again…67 last year. That is up six spots. Good for them! And USNWR has it about right. Its very much on par with Clemson academically. Also a school on the rise.</p>

69

<p>Re Berkeley: 4.7 – the 6th highest.</p>

70

<p>Or the 200 NAS members at UCB.</p>

71

<p>wait penn isn’t #1…?</p>

72

<p>Thanks, Donna!</p>

<p>Awwww…Berkeley slipped a bit in PA<br>

75

<p>When you have a chance, can you please post where University of Oregon and University of Washington ranked.</p>

76

<p>Since you posted the 25-35 Nat. univs. Could you do the same for the Lacs Please. Please.</p>
