[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And now back to the OP question 
Why are 5 UCs in the public top 10 rankings?
What about the other 5 in the top 10; how did they get there and why?[/quote]

The argument for Berkeley, UCLA, and UCSD is pretty strong. I’d expand to Top 15 and have the following as my personal rankings:

Tier 1: Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan
Tier 2: UVA, UNC, Texas
Tier 3: Georgia Tech, Florida, Washington
Tier 4: UCSD, UIUC
Tier 5: Georgia, Purdue, Wisconsin, Florida St.[/quote]

Let me fix this for you

Tier 1: Berkely, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Virginia, UNC
Tier 2 : UCLA Florida UIUC Texas
Tier 3: Purdue Wisconsin Washington UCSD[/quote]

I think this is a really good ranking. My only revision would be to move Georgia Tech to Tier 2. The educational quality is definitely Tier 1, but it is mostly known for STEM/business. It lacks the well-rounded appeal of Berkeley, Michigan, UVA, and UNC. These schools have outstanding humanities majors that appeal to kids that want to go to law school, public policy, etc. GT does not appeal to most of these humanities focused kids. [/quote]

[b]If just looking at the competitiveness of admissions [/b]I would say GT definitely say Tier 1.  These are some gaudy numbers for a Public.

Georgia Tech 
2026 Cycle Admissions stats

OOS Acceptance rate rate 8.9%. 
Overall Acceptance rate (both In and OOS) [b]12.0%[/b]

Engineering OOS Acceptance rate 7%
Engineering Overall Acceptance rate (both In and OOS) 10%
[/quote]

Except you shouldn’t look just at the competitiveness of admissions. Why would you do that? There is so much more to a school than that.[/quote]
