Why can't you look for yourself.

I’ll help you both. UMD is tied for #59. Definitely have to scroll for a while to find it.

So no more UVA s UMD threads?!

Lol. The College Park boosters will still post from their Fantasyland where UMD is considered on par with UVA...

This list gives you a general ballpark idea of how schools are ranked. But it doesn't change people's mind much. I guess the Princeton alumni still work at US News. But very few believes Princeton being #1. Its yield rate in the 60% range is the lowest out of HYPSM. No one believes Chicago is tied with Stanford. Duke's yield rate is less than 50%. Few believes Columbia being #2 either. If you want to be in the top 5, you need to get rid of ED and see what your yield rate is with only EA as HYPSM do.

+1
Almost no one chooses to go to Chicago or Columbia if they think they can be accepted at HYPSM.

I love these threads! The subjective BS from posters about how they think schools should be ranked is always top-notch entertainment.

This is silly and biased, there are 100 different metrics that US news can choose from but according to you rankings should be based on yield?!?!?!

Yield is a very important metric. It measures people's real commitment to a school, hundreds of thousands of $ for the next 4 years. With the yield in mind, Princeton would be #5:

1. Harvard (80%+)
2. Stanford (80%+)
3. MIT (high 70%)
4. Yale
5. Princeton

Why doesn’t UMD rank higher? Applicant test scores are high.

At least some can boast they went to CHYPSM - UVA.

I agree with this. But....do you think there is anything that could "shake-up" the HYPSM reputational strong-hold? What would that be?

I believe it's starting to happen. It's going to take awhile longer so people continue to choose the "name-brand bragging-rights" of HYPSM.

You can argue finer points, who is #1, #2.... but I think almost everyone agrees they rank pretty high.

My kid's school has improved steadily since he has been there (moved up 33 places).

I think it is because he is there.

(LOL)
