<p>I think the original poster wrote:</p>
<p>“I know US News Rankings don’t really mean much, but unfortunately most students rate the quality of a school based on US News. The UVa Administration has been saying for the past 10 years, how they have a plan to get us into the top 10 or top 15. Instead we have actually dropped from 17 or 18 to 23 now. What’s keeping us back? US News tells us exactly how they rate us, why can’t the administration improve?”</p>
<p>So, I was just responding that all of the UC schools are on an upward trend while the other public schools (UVA, Mich, UNC) will either stagnate or drop a little. And yes, USC is also moving up. And yes, this trend is a fact. </p>
<p>So Globalist, I am not stating that US News is the definitive source, all I am doing is posting a comment about US News which is what the original poster, posted about.</p>
