Is this a new ranking for Syracuse? I recall last year that it was ranked below UMass. They must be on the rise.

Umass suffers as a flagship because it is expensive in-state, and it is surrounded by a zillion private schools in New England. The profile of the student body has gotten a lot better since I was looking at colleges in the mid '00s.

I don't think Syracuse's ranking in USNWR is surprising. Syracuse is a well-established university with a national reputation, competitive admissions, and some really excellent programs. Don't mistake the DCUM echo chamber ("Syracuse -- such depressing winters -- HARD PASS!") for an authoritative assessment.


Not “competitive admissions.”


Admit rate was 36% this year, that’s pretty competitive

Certain Newhouse programs have an acceptance rate of under 3%.

+1 Those rankings look at overall, but major matters.

OP, Syracuse is a better school than the ones you list. It is pretty simple.

Who cares. These rankings are a bunch of bs. Isush these threads could be banned from this website because they are so tedious.
