do you have the first 25? those 10 were free

Whoops. - I did not even realize anyone paid for these. i am not doing that but here is last years 2021 list. Things do not change much year to year so this will still be useful guide to some top programs.

Wow, amazing how you basically have to multiply the UMD ranking by 2 before getting to UVA. Too bad so sad

for CS but still Go TERPS!!!

You both are reading an old USN&WR. UVA is now in the top 25; UMD has fallen off the list.

Wake also is ahead of schools schools like Rochester, Boston College, Georgia Tech, William & Mary, BU, etc. that all have higher scores as well. It is a fine school, but I've never understood its ranking.

Lol. To really have a head-on competition with HYMPS for students, Columbia needs to have the balls to drop that ED protection and switch to SCEA admission like a real HYMPS caliber does. Then we will see

Perhaps they should let applicants know that 1/3 of their undergraduates are non traditional students who do not matriculate at age 18. . That 1/3 is not included in the stats sent to USNWR. With such a small undergraduate class, it’s really gaming the system and USNWR allows Columbia to play it to perfection as the rankings show. The school has 33,000 students with less than 6500 at the undergraduate level.

My thoughts: Columbia is not really at the same level as Harvard and MIT. Chicago is not at the same level as Stanford, which always appears underrated in USNWR. Hopkins is not at the level of Caltech and Duke. Why does UCLA continue to be above Berkeley? What does UCLA do better than Berkeley? The schools tied at 28 don't really seem any better than schools down around 40 or so. What would make UCSB better than UCSD or Texas or a number of other schools?

Nobody cares what you and your grandma think.

Obviously you did. If you throw a rock at a pack of dogs, the one that yelps is the one that got hit.

Anonymous wrote:Just look at yield rates for Columbia, even below Penn and Chicago

This list gives you a general ballpark idea of how schools are ranked. But it doesn't change people's mind much. I guess the Princeton alumni still work at US News. But very few believes Princeton being #1. Its yield rate in the 60% range is the lowest out of HYPSM. No one believes Chicago is tied with Stanford. Duke's yield rate is less than 50%. Few believes Columbia being #2 either. If you want to be in the top 5, you need to get rid of ED and see what your yield rate is with only EA as HYPSM do.

This is silly and biased, there are 100 different metrics that US news can choose from but according to you rankings should be based on yield?!?!?!

Yield is a very important metric. It measures people's real commitment to a school, hundreds of thousands of $ for the next 4 years. With the yield in mind, Princeton would be #5:

1. Harvard (80%+)
2. Stanford (80%+)
3. MIT (high 70%)
4. Yale
5. Princeton

For all these schools to reach 80%+ yield at the same time, they can only accept students other competitors would NOT accept.
