“The last thing colleges care about are rankings?”
hahahahhahahahhahhahahahaahhaa. thats funny. if they don’t care about rankings, then how come when i searched WashU and went on their website, i found the following passage:

"WUSTL Programs Rank in Top 10

Several WUSTL schools, academic areas, and departments at the graduate and professional levels currently hold top-10 rankings in U.S. News & World Report’s 2008 rankings of graduate and professional programs.

* The George Warren Brown School of Social Work ranks No. 1 among master’s of social work programs.

The School of Medicine ranks No. 3 among research-oriented medical schools. Many individual programs are very highly ranked as well, including the Program in Occupational Therapy (tied for No. 1) and the Program in Physical Therapy (tied for No. 2). Several other academic areas also achieved top-10 rankings. Pediatrics is tied for a No. 7 ranking; audiology is ranked No. 5; and internal medicine is ranked No. 8.

The School of Law’s trial advocacy program is No. 4 in the nation, and the clinical training program ranks No. 6.


Many other University programs rank in U.S. News’ top 25. The complete list of rankings is available at grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/grad."

^yeah, they don’t care about rankings. give me a break. that’s almost as funny as saying they don’t care about yield!
