College and University Discussion
It spends a metric shit ton on research and overall spending. What are you trying to say? |
You can’t argue with this person. They are always on here grabbing the best ranking a school ever had in one year (or not, with the false claim that UVA was 9) and then claiming that the school has fallen because it is “no longer a tX school”. It’s like a tic. |
PP was trying to make some strange point about Wake Forest also having been ranked between 20-30 but no more...just pointing out that UNC has consistently been chugging along through any and all ranking methodology changes between 25-30 for 30 years. |
It seems to have suffered early on from methodological changes? But yes, recently it's survived. Unfortunately, that has not been the case for t20 schools like Emory and WashU. |
BTW...Princeton's average ranking across the entire 40 year time period is 1.5. Talk about consistency. |
And Wake's is 29. Talk about consistency. |
Emory started the USNews rankings in 1985 at 25 and it's now ranked 24. It's average is around 21. WashU started in 1985 at 23 and it's now ranked 21. It's average is around 18. These really are not particularly material changes. |
So, why is Princeton still #1 and Wake now #46? |
They changed the methodology in 2023. Have you seriously not heard about this? |
Why do you think? |
Honestly, because US. News will never change the T15. Factors are picked based on their ability to maintain that group. |
Because great schools will always be great schools...regardless of how the ranking methodology gets tweaked. |
+1 After the original t15 including UNCCH was done away with, this has been the case. |
Then why is Dartmouth ranked #300+ on many lists? |
Why is Boston College ranked 60th by Forbes? |
