What do you guys think. I think mine is pretty similar to US News (excluding Florida lol). [b]Criteria I used were selectivity, average test scores, academic prestige, etc[/b].[/quote]

UC Irvine should not be on.  If you look at UC schools, UC San Diego should be on before it.  I guess UC Santa Barbara may be up and coming, but would not put it ahead of W&M and UT Austin and would think schools like Washington and Wisconsin would be deserving of consideration.

If you are looking at this from an undergraduate perspective, it seems to me your criteria above don't really capture that.  A school can have high academic prestige due to its graduate programs, but that often doesn't translate to great undergraduate experience and opportunities.   Indicators there should be things like 4 year graduation rate, alumni satisfaction and giving rates, etc.
