@Churchill: As a UChicago alumnus who found my education there absolutely superb, I applaud your enthusiasm for my alma mater. I really do. But if you want to talk about rankings, particularly ones from USNWR, you’d have to mention other rankings where UChicago isn’t doing so hot. Pritzker for example, dropped 4 spots from last year back down to #15. (I honestly don’t know what happened, though I’m guessing its shrinking federal research funding is finally catching up.) Rankings change from year to year. You win some but you lose some. Just my 2 cents!!

I have the utmost respect for Columbia, and I think it’s doing fine. I haven’t seen any red flags there.
