<p>thanks, kyle5000</p>

4

<p>does anyone know where Rutgers-NB ranked on USNEWS?</p>

5

<p>hmmm in no particular order and unless otherwise stated the main campus - and for undergrad - as grad schools are program specific.</p>

<p>virginia, berkeley, ucla, ucsd, michigan, unc, william and mary, wisconsin, illinois, penn state, texas, maryland, ucsd, vermont, and miami ohio. </p>

<p>of course there is quite a variation in those schools - i'd say virginia, berkeley, ucla, michigan, and unc are probably on a whole better than the rest.</p>

6

<p>UT is sorely missing from that list :(</p>

7

<p>Actually, it's:</p>

<p>1) UCB
2) UMich
UVA
3) The Rest</p>

8

<p>ACTUALLY, it is</p>

<p>1) UVa
2) UCB
2) Michigan
4) the rest, including UIUC, UW-Madision, UCSD, W&M, UCLA, UNC, PSU, U of Texas-Austin, University of Vermont...etc.</p>

9

<p>1) Berkeley
2) Michigan
3) Virginia/UCLA
4) The rest</p>

10

<p>Michigan State certainly belongs in the top 15 publics.</p>

11

<p>Why would you go to UVA and study something like physics? It's a TTT</p>

</p>

<p>Because there's an "actual" answer to this question?</p>

13

<p>I won't rank them, but I will list 15 that I think are the best:</p>

<p>University of California-Berkeley
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of Virginia</p>

<p>University of California-Los Angeles
University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
University of Texas-Austin
University of Wisconsin-Madison</p>

<p>College of William and Mary
Georgia Institute of Technology
Indiana University-Bloomington
Pennsylvania State University-University Park
University of California-San Diego
University of Maryland-College Park
University of Washington</p>

14

<p>I'd put Berkeley and Michigan in a tie for first. And UW ahead of Texas, in a tie with UIUC.</p>

<p>So, this is my list:</p>

<ol>
<li>UC Berkeley</li>
<li>University of Michigan</li>
<li>University of Virginia</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li>UNC-CH</li>
<li>UIUC</li>
<li>University of Wisconsin</li>
<li>William and Mary</li>
<li>UT-Austin</li>
<li>GA Tech</li>
<li>IU-Bloomington</li>
<li>Penn State</li>
<li>Maryland-College Park</li>
<li>Washington</li>
<li>UCSD</li>
</ol>

15

<ol>
<li>UC Berkeley</li>
</ol>

<p>then UVA, UCLA, and UMich are all interchangeable.</p>

<p>Nah its this:</p>

<ol>
<li>UMich</li>
<li>UIUC</li>
<li>UW-Madison
4-14: the rest</li>
<li>Berkeley (The fact that the school is glorified on the O.C. makes it retarded.)</li>
</ol>

19

<p>purdue and minnesota should be there. Wisconsin should be higher. Like in the top 5.</p>
