[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there really a rank? Aren't they all flagships which exist to educate predominantly the students of that state? When someone refers to a T10 public "ranking", is it for grad programs or for undergrad?[/quote]

There are rankings. Five are in CA ….UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCD and UCI. Are in the 1-9 spots.[/quote]

I don't think this ranking is possible and wasn't going to chime in but, come on. No one thinks Davis and Irvine are in the top 10. Personally, I don't think UCLA or San Diego belong there either. California is so lucky to have a surplus of appealing schools but when you start calling them all "top ten," I have to disagree. They have too many major issues, starting with impacted majors that make 
it incredibly difficult to finish in four years. There aren't enough professors or seats, much less beds for students to finish on time. A second, totally different kind of problem, is the admissions mess caused by the "test-blind" policy. [/quote]

Davis and Irvine are tied for the 9 th spot in the top 10. Regardless of what you may feel, these schools are ranked in the top 10 and have been for a while.[/quote]

NP. These are test blind schools (joke) and rankings are skewed because they have a lot of poor and first gen students. No way they should be anywhere near the top 10. California residents posting on DCUM are in a bubble. No one thinks USNWR rankings are correct for public universities because of the Pell grant weighting. No one outside of California and Asia (a culture that views rankings as fact) thinks these schools are “top ten.” Maybe get out of the California bubble? Test blind is ruining the reputation of the UC system, even the top 3. Cal should be top 10 and maybe UCLA, but that is it. Have you read the article circulating about the number of UCSD kids incapable of doing basic high school math? Guess what, standardized tests setting admissions standards would fix that! -signed a Cal alum, long time DC resident, and California native. [/quote]
