It seems to correlate to the new USNWR ranking where top publics were given a bump up. Obviously, ivies aren't going anywhere, but the old guard ivies seem to be losing its luster. My kid didn't apply to any of the old ivies, but they did apply to one"newer" one on the list, and a few of the top publics on that list. Happy to see UMD and Bing on there. I'm sure both will now get more applications. |

Top publics: Binghamton University Georgia Institute of Technology University of Florida Florida University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign University of Maryland-College Park University of Michigan-Ann Arbor University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill University of Texas-Austin Texas University of Virginia Virginia University of Wisconsin-Madison The SAT scores are impressive for those publics, and the cost compared to private schools are so much cheaper, even for oos. Top Privates: Boston College Carnegie Mellon University Emory University Georgetown University Johns Hopkins University Northwestern University Rice University Texas University of Notre Dame University of Southern California Vanderbilt University |

If this is because BC is first on the list of private universities, that's because they are listed in alphabetical order... |

Both the public and privates on this list are great schools. Tough admits. Not sure if they are ivies, and I have a child at one of them, But solid education and the privates have large endowments with excellent resources for students. Can’t go wrong with any of them |

| I attended one of the schools listed, but throw shade on a methodology that excludes all California publics. |

I think people have their preconceived notions of "best schools", and it's hard to change those beliefs. But, IMO, what people are considering "top publics" is changing, and rightly so. Some of these schools are very different than what they used to be 20/30 years ago. |

Agree. But also agree with Forbes that it is impossible to objectively evaluate the CA schools selectivity and student body strength objectively without any kind of standardized test scores. |

More and more top schools are going back to test required. Don't worry.. Cal and UCLA aren't going anywhere. |

no, it’s because BC doesn’t belong on this list |

Of course BC belongs on the list, along with the others because they're all essentially the next in line after excluding the top schools:
"Our analysis excluded schools with fewer than 4,000 students, the eight old Ivies and four Ivy-plus schools—Stanford, MIT, Duke and Chicago." |
