<p>Private was pretty much redundant, sorry. Most college-ranking services (like USNews) rank the “top Universities” and then pull-out the top “public universities”. LACs get a separate list. By top-5-private (should have typed “15” though!) I mean the non-public universities. Though the publics usually start in the U rankings after 10 or so. This year they seem to start around 22. Her first school is still in that top 15 and another she turned down (a public U) is in the top 25. Of course SLC isn’t on these lists because they don’t play the game correctly! ;)</p>
