Can someone do this but remove Forbes, because it's a garbage ranking.

I thought Forbes ranking was ok other than Berkeley being #1 lol

With UC San Diego at 15, while Emory at 35, Caltech at 40, and Carnegie Mellon at 49?! No it's horrible.

Emory is too high on Forbes or USNWR.

This list was made for the dads playing golf at the country club and paying tuition bills. Comical.

That's how you know the list is garbage - USC really is the school for kids of wealthy parents who couldn't hack together the grades for a great private university (or a Public Ivy).

WSJ list is playing to its audience: dads of means.

Because real life != message boards full of circle-jerking striver moms who couldn't afford (or couldn't get their kid into) private college and do nothing but wax on and on about how amazing their kid's public U is. In real life, the smartest kids at Virginia, Berkeley, UCLA and Michigan are JEALOUS of their friends at elite private colleges.

Says someone with pea brain.

Pre-med forums are full of third and fourth year undergrads at huge state schools wishing they were at an elite private and comparing how much more help their friends at prestige privates receive. But ignorance is bliss, of course. Rah-rah, go team go!

yeah, because everyone wants to be a doc

USC is harder to get into than UVA or Umich, the only public school that hard to get into is UCLA and Maybe Gatech.

Touché, many kids just want to party and sleep through an easy bachelor's. If that's your jam, go paint your face, drink until you blackout, and cheer on the state school meatheads every Saturday. Rah-rah, go team go!

Michigan has such high out of state interest because California rich kids can't get into USC, UCLA, Cal, UCSD and UCSB anymore.
