Us news rankings 2011

This issue is coming out soon. Lets start a discussion here of who we think is going to move up the most or vice versa. I nominate Northeastern to move up the most and Brandeis to decline.

I predict -- nearly identical to last year with one or two "surprises" to sell magazines due to a poor rationale for a minute change in design.

Privates generally will move up and Publics will generally move down from the top listings. The way USNWR had their forumula set up, it can't go any other way.

I wonder how much Berkeley's PA score will be affected with much ballyhooed budget cuts?...can't be great for subjective opinion.

If anything, I expect that there will be more of a separation in the Ivy League schools. In other words, more equivalent schools will appear in the list between the top ranked and lowest ranked Ivy. Brown and Cornell will likely drop.

I agree with Objective789. More and more non-ivies are beginning to pass the ancient 8, due to their strong financial resources, research, and ability to recruit top faculty on par or even better than the ivies. I hope I see the day that Berkeley is in the top 10 again, but I know it won't happen in this economic climate.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Rice, Vanderbilt, Emory move ahead of Brown and Cornell. Dartmouth may also drop a few notches.

Objective789,

I'm curious as to why you believe those universities will pass Cornell and Brown. Typically the southern elites don't hold as much clout as the east coast elites, with Duke being the exception. I'm not saying they don't deserve it, I was just curious where you hunch is coming from.

Clemson will be #20 for public universities so they can stop with the whole top 20 slogan campaign
