<p>UCLA is actually 26th place, not 24th. It went down one, while USC went up to 27th, tied with University of north carolina, chapel hill and tufts.</p>

<p>plus, the selectivity rating for both ucla and usc is 17. uhh yes, the same number.</p>

<p>here’s a link</p>

<p>Blah blah blah blah blah. </p>

<p>I still hate rankings.</p>

<p>who cares?</p>

<p>the US news rankings are heavily based on factors that give private schools an advantage such as alumni giving. i prefer the washington monthly? rankings that put UCLA in the top 5. for well under half the price of usc we are getting a better education.</p>

<p>Wow. Great detective work.</p>

<p>Did you actually read the thread? Or the other one that says that UCLA is 26th?</p>

<p>Go start a fire elsewhere.</p>

<p>"Blah blah blah blah blah.</p>

<p>I still hate rankings."</p>

<p>well, just be content on being 26</p>

<p>Actually, no. I hate rankings, period. I’ve made that abundantly clear during my time at CC. </p>

<p>I especially hate the way that people around here argue about them as if they actually mean something. Which they don’t. They’re determined by a private publication which makes money off of them. I take them with a grain of salt. </p>

<p>UCLA’s ranking, or any other school’s, has absolutely no bearing on my life. I’m almost done with this place, and I have a job, and my employer wouldn’t care if UCLA is #4 or #40. It just doesn’t matter. I didn’t care about rankings before I had a job either because I was confident enough in my own abilities to succeed without having to lean on the arbitrarily desginated prestige of my school to impress people.</p>

<p>And frankly, it’s kind of boring to see a bunch of kids arguing back and forth about rankings a couple places apart as if it will ever make a difference for anything. </p>

<p>Which it won’t.</p>

<p>good for you</p>

<p>Pretty much.</p>

<p>God, can’t you go back to the South Carolina forums where you belong?</p>

<p>In the latest news, USC has a better business school than USC. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>

What’s your point? There’s also the prestige rating, and many other ratings.</p>
