[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there really a rank? Aren't they all flagships which exist to educate predominantly the students of that state? When someone refers to a T10 public "ranking", is it for grad programs or for undergrad?[/quote]

Such a weird question. "Is there really a rank" for a any college then? Also, "exist to educate predominantly the students of that state" is like [b]1950's logic[/b].  Some of these publics rank as some of the best in the country if not the world for some major areas of study and that is by no mistake.  So guess what, thousands of applicants from around the country and world will apply to these schools because of this. Also, guess what, many are now extremely competitive for admissions because of this and because they do also have a certain obligation to in-state students.

But, what you also find, most of these top publics are also test required and do not play an early decision game like many top privates which makes admissions for out of staters even that much more competitive. My kid was admitted to a top 10 and 20 private and rejected from 2 top 10 publics.        [/quote]

No it is not. [b]When most states take 75% of students from in-state[/b] (e.g. NC, UVA both are listed as T10).[/quote]

Not the Top 10 Publics.[/quote]
