<p>Here’s an interesting comparison of schools. Using this link - <a href=“http://chronicle.com/stats/usnews/index.php?category=Universities[/url]”>http://chronicle.com/stats/usnews/index.php?category=Universities</a> - I’ve determined the average ranking for each university and then determined what have been the top 50 unis since USNews started ranking them. As a side note, while many think WashU or Penn are the biggest jumpers in rank, USC actually takes that award.</p>
