<p>Can anyone post them, both for research universities and liberal arts colleges. I understand most of the Ivies and other elite privates didn't do too well.</p>
<p>Isn't it the Atlantic Monthly?</p>
<p>Cornell and Penn are the only Ivies in the top ten. This ranking is not necessarily reflective of undergraduate quality; it ranks universities by how much they benifit the country in terms of research and service. </p>
<p>Cornell is 4th, Penn 9th, Yale 15th, Harvard 16th. Noticeably no Columbia. Brown and Dartmouth aren't research mecca's, so its not surprising they aren't on the list. </p>
<p>I wouls say top privates did pretty well, but generally top publics have more pell grant recipients, which was a big factor, I think.</p>
<p>I don't really get the purpose of this ranking...it doesn't really matter to us as prospective students.</p>
<p>That's a telling statement on SO many levels.</p>
