[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]US news world ranking universities:
UMich #17
UVa nowhere to be found in the top 100.

Once again, no one looks at world ranks.  You are looking at the wrong USN&WR category.  UVA is always in the top 2, 3, or 4 place of public schools in America. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/top-public.  UVA was ahead of Michigan for 27 years until USN&WR decided to fold in the Pell Grant data, which UVA has no control over.[/quote]

[b]Once again, YOU don't look at world rankings and post the exact same message on this forum for the 100th time because you have apparently never left Virginia.[[/b]/quote]

Not true.  No one uses world rankings to make college decisions.  You are falling for the commercial hype.  These lists make money.[/quote]

1. I'm sure someone/somewhere has used a world ranking to inform a college decision.
2. USN&WR is an altruistic and unassailable beacon of wisdom?[/quote]
