<p>Early August. But normally, someone here has the scoops a few days ahead of time, alleging, “I saw it on the newstand at Grand Central”. That is media speak for a leak before it goes to print.</p>
<p>I heard it was Aug. 17th…</p>
<p>Official release date date is Aug. 20 according to Robert Morse:</p>

<p>I expect to see a partial list of USNWR rankings sometime today. Someone will get them early.</p>
<p>^^^^^ always leaked a day or two early here on CC by an insider at USNWR. Then there will be a flurry of obsessions and frustrations and snotty condescending commentary, snarling and petty jealousies. That will taper off in a week or so.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m looking forward to it. ;-)</p>
<p>still no leak?? ~48 hours count down?! :(</p>
<p>[Let</a> me google that for you](<a href=“http://lmgtfy.com/?q=usnews+2010+undergraduate+rankings+when]Let”>http://lmgtfy.com/?q=usnews+2010+undergraduate+rankings+when)</p>
<p>What do you care? Amherst and Williams are going to hold the top two spots, and Swarthmore and Wellesley will follow immediately afterward.</p>
<p>Then, it’s Middlebury, Bowdoin, and Pomona, in whatever order.</p>
<p>Not very exciting or novel.</p>
<p>Perhaps Morse and his jesters will play the Forbes and rank the military academies first and second!</p>
<p>I dont know where the leaker (from last year) has gone…and frankly forgot her name. Maybe we have to wait until Wednesday. Maybe not. </p>
<p>Its a game anyway.</p>
<p>2 days, 5 hours, 39 minutes, and 27 seconds from this post</p>

<p>I don’t see too much of a shift from last year’s rankings, to be frank.</p>
<p>Minnesota will go up 
Again :)</p>
<p>frankly a little surprised there’s been no leak, there’s usually something by now.</p>
