+1. US News is slowly making its premier ranking a poor product and thus less and less relevant to college list decision-making, which was tangential to begin with. Now it just looks dumb.

UVA moved up from 25 to 24

And UNC Moved up to #22. UVA fell to #5 among the top publics.

Anonymous wrote:"These rankings don't matter" crowd sounds similar to the Test optional crowd that secretly pays $500/hr to test prep their kids to move from 1200 to 1250 .

People, the only rankings that matter is US News and this is it for 2024!

Oh give it a break! No one pays $500 an hour. This is liberal screed. You lose all credibility when you keep saying this. And in case you didn’t notice it, no one here comments on your posts about tutoring inequality because no one believes it or cares. Take it to Reddit or some Marxist publication. Btw kids can self tutor very ably and have no need of expensive tutors

Are test scores still included in the ranking formula, or no? I'm guessing no...

This, yall really believe UCDavis is peer schools with Emory, WashU, Carnegie Mellon???
Like be for real! This is horrible, only elite schools should be on the T30. Private schools don't know which students are Pell grant students it's unfair to judge them on that. They provide great financial aid to the Pell grant students they do have yet don't get rewarded for that.

Basically takes a 3.9 GPA to get into UC Davis these days. Attracts the same caliber as Emory, WashU and CMU so yes, it isn’t ridiculous to think it is a peer school. Your info about Davis is likely outdated.

A 3.9 weighted is not the same as a 3.9 unweighted. Also those 3 schools sat scores are 1500+.

The weighted admission stats for UC Davis are well above a 4.0 so not sure what you are getting at. And look at how many students actually submitted test score to these schools. Davis obviously doesn’t consider them. Around 40%+ of students enrolled did not.

Princeton and Williams remain the USNWR darlings.
Don't they know they'd get more headlines and interest if they mixed up those top spots, especially since everyone knows they are not undoubtedly the top schools (look at almost any other ranking)?

LOL just like every other elite top 20. It's not going anywhere below where it is. It hasn't for decades. I know that triggers you lol.

Uh no. Many of them like UVA have already dropped it. And while we are on the topic of Notre Dame let’s discuss it’s abysmal 3.3% black student population (and don’t try comparing it to the UV schools -we stomped you on that last time)

Like I said, despite its lackluster diversity, it still remains a top 20 school. They must be doing something right! And it has been in top 20 since the 90s, but nice try.

Elon #1 in undergraduate teaching. That's impressive.

It literally dropped 2 spots to 20, it can easily drop another next year.

So what? It is still ranked a top school. Two slots either direction is typical for many schools in the top 20. Nice try though!

you incredibly obtuse. 70% of Emory students submitted test scores don't know about the other schools. However, top banks, consulting firms, and even tech companies will never recruit from UC Davis, I hope you know that. So please enjoy the delusions.
