A list copied from Reddit is "correct"? Talk about a joke.

Seems to be a new pattern for posters.

Not at all like the others.
And interesting that USC did not get even a tiny hit for its admission scandals.

I don’t believe you are actually confused at all and just stirring up shit.

Sorry UCSD

I thought USD was 29, UCD and UCI were tied for 31, and UCSB 38.

Any top-x assertion should include a source and a category. U.S. News, for example, does not provide a general ranking of undergraduate schools in any form, so a category should be specified. As an example of a general ranking of colleges and universities together, this analysis relied on fairly conventional measures, which tended to place familiar schools among the top 30:

Note, however, that a few academically strong schools do not appear due to "data limitations."

Wisconsin and UWash are not like the others.

Strange list. UC San Diego and NYU should be much higher.

That’s a bizarro list

I think your list is right-ish. Maybe just missing Amherst tho or maybe that was #32.

I like that your list includes LACs.

USNWR is garbage.

There is no agreed-upon T anything. There are a large handful of schools ( the ones on your list) that are generally very well regarded, nearly impossible to get into, that most people think of when they make these references. And there’s a USNRW list which changes a little bit from year to year but is probably the most common reference point since it’s the easiest to find. There are many rankings out there of colleges and universities and while they tend to highlight the same schools over and over again they certainly don’t agree with each other on the order.

They mean US News. Typically national universities but sometimes national LAC’s.
