My DC is at Stanford. Said seemed like Harvard or MIT were the only schools classmates considered over Stanford when making their college choice.

UVA, Michigan, and UCLA as high as they are because of in-state students. I mean, of course you're going to pick UVA if your other choices are William and Mary and JMU. And Michigan? I mean, there really is no other option for paying in-state. You can't compare those to privates. What an illogical way to "rank" colleges.

That is about one of the cheesiest introductions to stupide ranking criteria that I have ever read. A college is the "best" one because it's the one most students who get in want to go to? This is literally only about prestige and nothing else. Do not even click the link. You will be sorry. So stupid.

Where is northeastern?

USC goes up from 28 USNews to 14 here and above UCLA which validates my thinking. It’s a school a lot of kids want to go to.

For all that…and the rankings basically are the same as all the other rankings with the desk chairs shuffled a tiny bit.

They weren’t particularly surprising at all.

This just looks like the same schools that are always at the top but shuffled around a bit.

So badly? I’m a reading this wrong? Sounds like Princeton/yale admit go pretty much 50/50. Princeton is ranked #1 in the country so this is hardly surprising.

Im only surprised about Stanford/princeton

LACs?
