<p>I ran across an interesting article. They rank schools by what their students do after they graduate not on who accepts the highest test scores.</p>
<p>[“The</a> Washington Monthly College Rankings” by The Editors](<a href=“http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2006/0609.collegechart.html]"The”>http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2006/0609.collegechart.html)</p>
<p>whoot! UCLA is up there! past Yale! my stupid ass cousin can now suck it.</p>
<p>haha. Four UC’s in the top ten. </p>
<p>Go UCD! BAM!</p>
<p>Ha, that list is suspect. Stanford is ranked lower than SD? haha.</p>
<p>Oh, and the ladies love an ivy leaguer xleper.</p>
<p>Yeah it’s different anchor. </p>
<p>I think it’s important for people to remember that just going to Yale or Stanford doesn’t mean you’ll do great things.</p>
<p>I worked with a guy that was a Stanford graduate. It was kind of a joke around the store. He had his degree on the wall, haha. He was so proud. Yet he didn’t do anything with his life.</p>
<p>It’s important to remember that your college doesn’t define you. You can go to a small school and end up changing the world.</p>
<p>As for this list, I looked it up after I saw the author on the Daily Show a while back. He said they put it together because him and his think tank buddies thought the current system was flawed. He said US News was like, "Grading a restaurant on their silverware (the dressings, test scores, GPAs of admitted students) rather than their food (what they produce, what their students do after they graduate). </p>
<p>I don’t agree with everything on this list but I thought it was important to point out that “rankings” aren’t universally recognized.</p>
<p>You’re right about ladies loving ivy leaguers. “I aint saying she’s a gold digger…” haha.</p>
<p>well my cousin is a… “lady” (if you want to call her that, i say harlot) and she is an ivy leaguer. the only reason she went to Yale was to find a husband. right now her bf of 2 years is being drafted into the NHL (ugly as an ass), she’s all ****ed b/c he isn’t dropping down on one knee. whatever poor sap marries that demon spawn deserves a medal.</p>
<p>2.6 is not a respectable GPA, i don’t care where you come from. talk about “gentlemen’s C’s”</p>
<p>Good to the UCs getting some rep.</p>
<p>haha. I love hockey but it’s a known fact that you can’t even call yourself a hockey player until you’re missing at least three teeth.</p>
<p>This was my reaction:</p>
<p>“Yay, UC Davis finally gets some deserved recognition!”</p>
<p>[keeps reading]</p>
<p>“Hmm, UC Riverside #22 in the nation…rankings are obviously flawed…”</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>^Riverside! Riverside is better than Santa Barbara?! Yeah, SB isn’t the greatest, but I wouldn’t think it is 30+ spots below Riverside. :-</p>
<p>haha…yeah like I said, I don’t agree with all the rankings.</p>
<p>UCLA is number one on “The Oorah Post: America’s Best Universities” …</p>
<p>It’s really the only list you can trust nowadays.</p>
<p>can you post the link?</p>
<p>Here’s a different take.</p>
<p>World rankings from a UK company:</p>
<p>[Times</a> Higher Education - Education news, resources and university jobs for the academic world](<a href=“World University Rankings | Times Higher Education (THE)”>World University Rankings | Times Higher Education (THE))</p>
<p>I don’t think all colleges around the world are included though. I think the school has to ask to be reviewed. There are some REALLY good (and crazy hard!) schools over here (Germany) that aren’t on the list.</p>
<p>I wish more people would rank by department.</p>
<p>UCB all the way! woot</p>
