[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Columbia's snafu proves it's a step below HYPMS. It will likely drop out of the top 10 when it returns to USnews, meaning there will be only 4 ivys in the top 10, HYP and Upenn. Columbia, Dartmouth, Brown, and Cornell will be lumped in with the Vandy/Emory tier of school which is still great but not as elite as you guys make them seem. [/quote]

Columbia is already in a league all by itself for exposing USNews' shady business. Princeton president agrees with Columbia.  Their whole point is the rankings, especially among the top ivy plus hitters, is questionable. [/quote]

I'm not sure what you mean. If by Columbia exposing USNews, you are referring to the Columbia professor, then yes, bravo! If you mean the administration of the University, then not at all. They venerated the rankings so much that they were willing to lie to move up. If you think they did this with the intention of being found out so that they could disparage the rankings, that is a little bit fanciful. CU is a great school, but it is crazy to try to turn lying and cheating into a positive. [/quote]

Totally agree with the above statement. We wouldn’t even be having this discussion if it weren’t for that brave CU professor. [/quote]
