USWNR national universities

WSJ also ranks Syracuse ahead of Fordham and UMass/Amherst.

Forbes also ranks Syracuse ahead of Pitt, Fordham and UMass/Amherst.

I don't think Syracuse's ranking in USNWR is surprising. Syracuse is a well-established university with a national reputation, competitive admissions, and some really excellent programs. Don't mistake the DCUM echo chamber ("Syracuse -- such depressing winters -- HARD PASS!") for an authoritative assessment.

Not “competitive admissions.”

Who cares. These rankings are a bunch of bs. Isush these threads could be banned from this website because they are so tedious.

It really depends upon the particular major or particular college or school within each university as to which is the best school for a certain applicant.

OP, Syracuse is a better school than the ones you list. It is pretty simple.

+1 Those rankings look at overall, but major matters.

Certain Newhouse programs have an acceptance rate of under 3%.

Admit rate was 36% this year, that’s pretty competitive

Umass suffers as a flagship because it is expensive in-state, and it is surrounded by a zillion private schools in New England. The profile of the student body has gotten a lot better since I was looking at colleges in the mid '00s.

Is this a new ranking for Syracuse? I recall last year that it was ranked below UMass. They must be on the rise.
