Why you mad?

This is a college forum, and these are good references for your initial college search.

They are updated annually, and one was just updated.

Thank you for posting this.

A lot of people care.

Prior to US News, selecting a college or university was little more than by "word-of-mouth" reputation.

The first US News college rankings appeared in 1983. Looks as though only 13 schools were ranked--although I am not sure of this.

1983# US News rankings:

1) Stanford
2) Harvard
3) Yale
4) Princeton

5) UCal-Berkeley
6) Chicago
7) Michigan
8) Cornell
8) Illinois
10) MIT
10) Dartmouth
12) CalTech
13) Wisconsin
