[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go UC Davis! California’s 5th best state school, with a 42% admit rate, is ranked #32 in the country.

How many times can a shark be jumped?[/quote]

UC Davis is an excellent, all around school, with a charming college town setting, without toxic, competitive students.

In California, it is considered too far from the coast, from the mountains, from SF, even though it would be considered close to them if it were on the east coast.[/quote]
As good or better than Georgia Tech, NYU, BC, Tufts? If it were on the east coast, it would be competing with Rutgers-Newark and UMass-Lowell (not even the Rutgers and UMass flagships).[/quote]

Who knows?  The schools are all different, each with their own emphasis, which gets the absurdity of the rankings.

UC Davis, like many of the UCs, moved up the rankings because of changed metrics that highlighted social mobility and the percentage of Pell grant recipients.

But if it were in Massachusetts, it would be state flagship and it is comparable to Rutgers-New Brunswick.  Parents who have posted on this site with kids there have been favorable.[/quote]
