You refuse to answer the question. What makes ND better than Emory? Is it test scores? It's definitely not acceptance rate. Is it alumni respect? Wall Street placement? What is it? I'll tell you now Emory performs just as well or better on all these metrics. |

Replace NYU with Berkeley. USC is still too high. |

Duke is too high as well. |

It's pretty funny how serious people get about trying to distinguish between a bunch of schools that are all excellent. As if there could possibly be a 'definitive' list. |

Schools that make the top 25 on both USnews and WSJ should be ranked higher on the combined list. That means Emory should be higher than ND as Emory is top 25 on both and ND is not. Also NYU is top 25 on neither while Berkeley is top 25 on one.

Problems with your list: Duke too high at 6. Should be 8-10. Johns Hopkins too high at 8. Should be 13-16. Northwestern too high at 8. Should be 11-14. UPenn too low at 11. Should be 6-8. Brown too high at 11. Should be 13-15. Dartmouth too low at 14. Should be 10-12. Georgetown too low at 25. Should be 20-23. NYU too high at 25. Should be 27-30. Notre Dame too low at 22. Should be 17-20. Wash U too high at 17. Should be 19-21. |

Why? USNews is not the end all be all. |

That's not a reason. I'm saying the ranking is wrong. Emory is higher on WSJ. Much higher in fact. |

In no world is it harder to get into large state school Univ. Mich than Georgetown? You all are smoking crack.
Georgetown (7,300 undergrads) is MUCH more selective than UMich Ann Arbor (31,000 undergrads). Georgetown REQUIRES test scores and requires ALL scores from everyone you took. It is not on the Common App. For 2022 the SAT average score was 1500. GU's acceptance rate is 15% Michigan does not require test scores. It lists 1340 as the SAT score for usual admission. Michigan's acceptance rate is 26% Georgetown only ranks lower on this list precisely because it is not a common app school and requires test scores which precludes many of the kids that would have to submit their scores. |
