<p>No die-hard MSU / OSU alum should EVER wish UM well!!!</p>
<p>Well, go USC (btw, I don’t go to USC)! It’s nice to see it really going up, especially since it’s always been overshadowed by Stanford, Berkeley, and UCLA.</p>
<p>I wonder what Dukies are going to say about this. </p>
<p>You guys haven’t mention the most obvious one yet. Yeshiva’s out of the top 50.</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, USNews was supposed to add a list of schools dedicated to undergrad teaching - or something to that effect. Was that list published?</p>
<p>Ephman, haha… I guess I am THE exception from tOSU 
After all, I did grow up in the state of Michigan and graduated from MSU as well. Michigan will always be a part of me! :P</p>
<p>I’m kind of suprised that Cornell went down. If USNEWS considers Penn to be a top 4 school, Cornell should at least be in the top 10. But yeah, Yeshiva is 52 now.</p>
<p>So based on nesh’s posts, these are the following Peer Assessment ¶ scores:</p>
<p>4.9 = Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Stanford
4.8 = Yale
4.7 = Berkeley
4.6 = Caltech, Columbia, Chicago
4.5 = UPenn, Hopkins, Cornell
4.4 = Brown, Duke, Michigan
4.3 = Dartmouth, Northwestern, UVA
4.2 = Carnegie Mellon, UCLA
4.1 = UNC, WashU, Wisconsin
4.0 = Georgetown, Emory, Rice, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, UIUC
3.9 = USC
3.8 = Notre Dame</p>
<p>OK, that’s enough edits for me. I’ll ask Alexandre to edit my post in the future.</p>
<p>^where’s Columbia? Wait, you missed Chicago too.</p>
<p>^ somehow I’ve always liked that list, tenisghs. ;)</p>
<p>LOL @ Duke & ND, if this is true. But I’ll reserve judgment until I see the real thing.</p>
<p>As for the undergraduate teaching… </p>

<p>Personally, I think these rankings are a bit ridiculous…</p>
<p>I’ll take that. In striking distance of UVA, UCLA, USC, Michigan, for next year.</p>
<p>^^ Ha! Berkeley and Michigan made that list! Take that Hawkette! :D</p>
<p>Columbia: 4.6, Chicago: 4.6, Georgetown: 4.0, Notre Dame: 3.8 (Emory, Rice, Vandy, Georgia Tech and U of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign are also 4.0)</p>
<p>UCB,</p>
<p>You think UCB and Mich cooked their books on that? ;)</p>
<p>I see that Tulane continues to be horribly underrated following Hurricane Katrina despite shattering admissions records and bringing in their two best freshmen classes ever. I really don’t understand how the school has admissions stats close to those of USC and Boston College and is somehow stuck at 50. I hate US News.</p>
<p>
It is probably because the data is from last year, not from this year. Tulane will rise again next year.</p>
<p>Nesh1080, thanks in advance for National Universities 51-75?</p>
<p>Sam, no way…I’ve always known Berkeley and Michigan had a dedication to undergrad teaching…great to see them getting the respect they deserve. Berkeley’s and Michigan’s undergrad programs are highly rated… ;)</p>
<p>^It’s not time yet, Johnny Utah. Tulane will see a good jump next year.</p>
<p>Typical CC Poster: I saw the rankings and I… Jizzed, in, my, pants.</p>
