Anybody else find it amusing that USC is not on this list?

<p>of CC Top Universities?</p>

<p>Where is USC?</p>

<p>Of course as a Bruin I find it amusing that Michigan and UNC are on this list but USC is conspicuously missing!</p>

<p>I guess I’m easy to amuse :)</p>

<p>I think you need to search for this topic which is brought up about every four months.
The answer is usually to look at the sat scores of usc versus ucla</p>

[DunninLA]

<p>I missed that… been here only ten months. Actually I am guessing the list was established in '06 when USC was #30, and hasn’t been updated.</p>

[Fowora]

<p>its stupid, usc should be on that list</p>

[hawkette]

<p>USC should absolutely, positively be on the list of Top Universities. And so should Tufts and Wake Forest. </p>

<p>Cut the list at either the USNWR Top 25 or Top 30. IMO, include all of the USNWR Top 30 (U North Carolina, which is included, is ranked 30th while USC is 27th and Tufts/Wake are tied for 28th).</p>

<p>I don’t think Wake forest should be.</p>

[Columbia_Student]

<p>This list has not been changed since 2003 or 2004.
Back in 2003, U of Michigan was ranked in the top 25 and not USC.</p>

<p>

The University of California-Berkeley, at No. 21, was the top-rated public university. It was followed at 22 by the University of Virginia and the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor in a year that saw public universities generally hold their own despite state budget cuts across higher education.

<p>The CC top University list is just an outdated list of the (non-ivy) USNWR top 25</p>

The answer is usually to look at the sat scores of usc versus ucla

Misleading. And the response to that is that USC superscores their SAT scores while the UCs do not. Mixing and matching the highest scores from multiple sittings will yield higher aggregate scores than those taken from single sittings.</p>

<p>Who cares what CC thinks?</p>

[liek0806]

<p>CC also has Reed on top LACs when it ranks below top 25, the top Unis list of CC are based off US NEWS list(outdated)</p>
