[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's always discussion on the forum about what are the top schools and I'm here to help. I combined both the [b]USNew[/b]s and WSJ rankings to create a more accurate and complete ranking. These two are the most reputable in circulation thus why others weren't used.

1.Harvard
2.MIT
3.Stanford
4.Yale
4. tie Princeton
6. Duke
7. Cal Tech
8. Columbia
8. tie Johns Hopkins
8. tie Northwestern
11. U Chicago
11. tie UPenn
11. tie Brown
14. Dartmouth
15. Cornell
16. Vanderbilt
17. Washington U
18. Rice
19. Emory
20. USC
20. tie CMU
22.Notre Dame
22. tie U Michigan
22. tie UCLA
25. Georgetown
25. NYU[/quote]

Well, UVA is tied with CMU on USNWR for no 25, so I'm gathering your kid didn't get into UVA?[/quote]
No, UVA is 25 on [b]USNews [/b]but 55 on WSJ for a combined rank of 40. I guess it's another notable omission. [/quote]

But USNWR is all that matters.  All the other rankings don't.  That's why all the colleges are trying to get top stats kids to report to USNWR. USNWR runs colleges in the US because they are so beholden to it.  Wrong, but still true.[/quote]
USNews isn't all that matters. Every single one of these schools posts the results of WSJ indicating that they care about this ranking as well. They don't post Forbes or Nice so I didn't use it. [/quote]
