[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]US News lost any credibility it was clinging to when it put UC Merced right outside the top 50. UC Merced has a 9% acceptance rate, with precovid SAT average of 990. It's yield is also in single digits. But because it serves a largely poor population, it became a top school in the United States.[/quote] Closer to 60th (58) but… No, the reason Merced did so well is not because it serves a poor population. Looking at the numbers behind the paywall and going through the methodology, it appears the main reasons Merced did well were: - they outperformed other schools not in the top 40 on debt at graduation - they outperformed other schools not in the top 40 on overall graduation rates relative to the rates predicted by incoming scores (still used since looking at ‘16 cohort), gpa, budget, and other characteristics - faculty research ranked 39th I can get disagreeing, but your understanding of their rank is off.
