If that is true penn should be way down and schools like Dartmouth should be a lot higher.

William and Mary dropped a few spots to 38. UVA, prestigious, stayed at 25. Maryland is somewhere in the 60s. Chuckle.

Grinnell jumped. Davidson stayed where it is. I always feel like it is a school that is under appreciated on this forum.

William and Mary tumbled to 38. It is now a worse ranked school than Florida. It (William and Mary) is in desperate shape—stagnant number of applications, poor resources, and very few male applicants.

Carleton is the best LAC in the country and #1 among PhD producers.

Poor resources? I thought it is a public ivy with lots of research opportunities for undergraduates

These rankings are a joke. Illinois ranked above Wisconsin? All the smart Chicago kids would rather go to Madison than Urbana Champaign.

Huge caveat. I have a kid at TJ and STEM kids are lining up for the Engineering at Illinois and sometimes of the other STEM.

Isn't the U of Florida a public ivy by some standards?

Not sure why 38 is so awful.

too stressful and kids aren't happy there. stress is more acceptable when it comes with a top brand name. w&m's brand is commensurate to the stress.

Best LAC is subjective. Top PhD producer only in Chemistry.

The brand was stronger in the early 1990s.

It’s awful when viewed in context—once a top 25 school that has never fared worse than 34, I think. The school n I’ll. I doubt blather in about it’s top 5 undergraduate teaching ranking, but it’s simply not getting enough applicants.
