<p>As a side note, CMU food stinks</p>
<p>kwu, I hope that lists is not in order from best to worst because you’d have to throw CMU to #4</p>
<p>Most overrated: Cal. I went there as a grad student. Classes are huge, professors are interested only in research/grad students, campus administration is horrible. They don’t have enough campus housing for everyone. Plus, many the students have to pick their major before they even set foot on campus (engineers especially).</p>
<p>Both Cornell and Columbia (where I attended undergrad) are superior in virtually all aspects.</p>
<p>The rankings arent out until Sept 9 online and then they mail the hardcopy mags to the distributors. Puhleeze. This is yet another game. </p>
<p>The musical chairs in the top 20 is also a game. The schools DONT change year to year. Only the attidudes of their students, who think they are seemingly better if their rank goes up. NOT.</p>
<p>In my view they should just have groups, tiers. Top 25. Top 50. Top 75. Top 100. And everyone else.</p>
<p>All alpha. But that wont sell magazines and get advertising revenues. </p>
<p>You are judged in life by your ethics, your professional and personal judgment, your performance on the job and your personality/EQ. Not by where you went to college.</p>
