[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Washington University has been among the best schools in the country for a very long time - even if YOU didn't know it. [/quote] Maybe, maybe not. In 1988 WUSTL was tied with Wisconsin-Madison in the US News rankings. Not bad, but not top 20 either. After years of gaming, WUSTL peaked at #9 in 2004 before starting to backslide (now down to #14). Meanwhile Wisconsin is now at 41. This divergence could be explained by WUSTL's great gains in academics, but more likely is just a good example of the problems inherent with the USNews rankings.[/quote]
