[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top 20 is nebulous. It's not exactly the top 20 on USnews and there's other rankings out there. And yes that does include the the rest of the top 25 and LACs. T20 has always been more of a slang term that encompasses more than 20 schools. [/quote] This is what people from schools that are not ranked in the top 20 always say lol.[/quote] You're a moron. There is more than 1 ranking. Using USnews as the only ranking to qualify prestige is stupid especially since they don't rank LACs. For instance USC is 27 on USnews but 19 on Times. While Notre Dame is 19 on USnews and 36 on Times. So why should ND be considered a top school if USC is not? There's 5 undergrad rankings, they all should be taken into consideration not just 1. .[/quote] I have one kid in USC and one kid in ND, so I'll pick and choose better number from each LOL However, USN&WR seems more reasonable for undergraduate. Overall I would consider ND a T20 school and USC a T25 school. Overall ranking is just for an initial reference, specific program and fit is more important. For my kid 1 USC is definitely a better school, and for kid 2 ND is definitely a better school. [/quote]
