<p>It is also worthy to note that Geneseo has been placed amongst the most competitive colleges and universities in the 2011 version of Barrons Guide to US Colleges, moving up from the “highly competitive” classification. Barrons was the “gold standard” before the US NEWS rankings took the forefront. SUNY Geneseo is the only SUNY school to have achieved this distinction and this ranking places it among the most selective and elite colleges and universities in the nation. Congratulations GENESEO!</p>
