<p>Also, according to US News (I don’t like their rankings, but let’s use it) Arizona is ranked 98th. This is clearly up there with Duke.</p>
<p>The good news is that Saint Louis University is ranked higher, so for all of you SLU applicants, if Arizona is as good as Duke, and SLU is ranked higher than Arizona, then it must also be as good as Duke, right? Don’t get me wrong, I have lots of respect for SLU, but seriously, here are some of the schools ranked above Arizona (I can’t wait for PosterX’s reply, though don’t get me wrong, these are not bad schools…they just aren’t Duke IMO)…</p>
<p>University of Kansas
University of Tulsa
University of Vermont
Clark University
Iowa State University
Marquette University
North Carolina State -Raleigh
UC-Santa Cruz (go Banana Slugs)
Fordham
Michigan State
BYU
SMU
Minnesota Twin-Cities
Iowa
Rutgers (they should have been Ivy, they got screwed)
Miami-Ohio
University of Pittsburgh
Yeshiva University</p>
<p>Enough, let me just say this…</p>
<p>There are 8 University of California schools ranked higher than Arizona! Granted, the UC system is great, but 8? There are only 10 of them! Clearly Arizona is an elite.</p>
