<p>This isnt a bad list other than the fact that its a Top 10 list in the first place with ten being such an arbitrary number to which to narrow. I can name you seven BFAs he excluded right off the top of my head - DePaul, Emerson, Evansville, Ithaca, Otterbein, SMU, USC - for which one could make reasonable arguments for inclusion as well as a couple of BAs in name only - UCLA and Northwestern - that could be considered as well. Also note that he very clearly alphabetized and didnt rank.</p>
<p>Its pretty obvious to me that he intended to include Rutgers in the first Tisch spot given that he mentioned it in both the BU and Syracuse descriptions. Sloppy? Yes. Poorly researched? Not really although I do have to wonder on what criteria he bases his judgments to exclude others. If I were to make such a list based on my own observations and biases, there would actually only be six, but I wont go there naming names to keep the peace. 
Id also make it a point to make sure I interviewed at least three recent graduates from each school before writing the descriptions because some of those do seem to be a bit off from what I know about the programs.</p>
