I’m a Wash. U. alum.

It’s fun to see Wash. U. do well on these lists, but any list where Case Western, Rochester, Tulane and Brandeis rank so much lower seems odd.

It’s also hard to trust a list that sets UC Merced over Wash. U. or Wash. U. over the University of Chicago.  [/quote]
This isn't a list to brag about. San Jose State is ranked 16 on wsj this year but 173 last year. Emory was 38 last year but 103 this year. There's nothing a school can do to rise 150 spots other than the ranking being completely different. [/quote]
