UC schools give one another 100 LOL



The PA used to be 25%. A better indicator of academic excellence than any other factor.

True. I think the ranking system doesn’t really value what it should.


W&M is very underrated; these rank are all over the place.

Unfair! I feel that VCU should be ranked higher than UMBC.


I’m curious, why? I’m in the tech field and UMBC is excellent.

Or the rankings are wrong in general, so ignore them.


The USNWR ranking is garbage in garbage out.
For example, Columbia didn't submit their data, so USNews used some other sources to create their ranking. That means the data sourcing is not consistent. Why not just use the same sources to create the ranking. And if Columbia doesn't want to participate, why still put them in?
