[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all schools can be at the top at the same time. I often hear this argument from alums from schools like Emory, NYU, Tufts, WashU, etc all the time — “just you wait, it’ll be elite in just a few years and soar through the rankings!” It’s not that easy, and if every school is soaring through the rankings, there won’t be much movement. Just accept it.[/quote] The "top" 10-15 schools are entrenched because that is the way rankings work, particularly for schools that have the "pedigree" like the Ivys. I don't see people saying "just wait, school X will be top 10 in a decade" except for maybe Elon boosters. Schools like NYU, Tufts and WashU are outstanding, top tier institutions. That is why they are generally considered in the top 30. If one doesn't consider top 30 or 40 or 50 in the US with thousands of schools to to top tier, that is their own snobbery, not the fault of a school.[/quote]
