[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the actual list of top 10 public universities.

The top 10 public universities in the U.S. for 2026, according to U.S. News & World Report, are dominated by the University of California system:

University of California, Berkeley (Tied for #15 overall nationally)
University of California, Los Angeles (Tied for #17 overall nationally)
University of Michigan–Ann Arbor (Tied for #20 overall nationally)
University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill (Tied for #26 overall nationally)
University of Virginia (Tied for #26 overall nationally)
University of California, San Diego (#29 overall nationally)
University of Florida (#30 overall nationally)
The University of Texas–Austin (#30 overall nationally)
University of California, Davis (#32 overall nationally)
University of California, Irvine (#32 overall nationally[/quote]

Because for some reason something called USNWR ignores test blind which is laughable. Forbes doesn't even consider UC in Public Ivies because of it. [/quote]

So Forbes is the authority now. In any case, in top colleges 2026 list, Berkeley is ranked #5 and UCLA#15.[/quote]

The non-STEM kids getting into Berkeley from my DC’s OOS school are NOT top students. Literally can’t get in anywhere else in the top 50. One classmate was going to a regionally ranked school (not even USNWR national university) and got in off the waitlist. Think App State. Rejected at our state flagship. Test score is in the mid-1200s as shown on Naviance. It must be the essays getting these very average kids accepted. I think the ranking must be based on their old reputation. [/quote]

Some of the non-STEM kids going to UChicago or Tufts from my kid's school are not great students either. They have Gpas of 3.6 but they are full pay and applying ED0 (Chicago only) or ED1. Many of these kids dont high rigor either.[/quote]
