<p>The rankings are perplexing, to say the least.</p>

<p>even more baffling is that the university of texas is 15th. I go there. It should not be 15th.</p>

<p>I don't agree with Berkeley being 2nd, just because it isn't as competitive for in-state students.</p>

<p>That's kind of wierd. How can UC San Francisco and San Diego be better than UCLA? </p>

<p>I have a feeling whatever criteria they used to rank somehow really favors state schools.</p>

<p>UCSF is a medical school.</p>

<p>I take it this ranking is for overall U attributes, and so is focused on grad school rep.</p>
