<p>If USC topped UCLA this year there’s going to be hell to pay. Hell!</p>
<p>Interesting… Does the new ranking included the admission yield and/or the high school counselor’s rating? Anyone?</p>
<p>USC certainly is up-and-coming!! lol</p>
<p>Someone asked 30-35 ranking…below is MY GUESS!!!</p>
<ol>
<li>UNC</li>
<li>Michigan</li>
<li>Tufts</li>
<li>Brandeis</li>
<li>Boston College</li>
<li>William and Mary</li>
<li>NYU</li>
<li>Georgia Tech</li>
<li>UCSD</li>
<li>Wisconsin-Madison</li>
<li>Lehigh</li>
<li>Rochester</li>
<li>Case Western</li>
<li>Illinois-Urbana Champaign</li>
</ol>
<p>P.S. MY GUESS is as good as anyone on this board!! @_@"</p>
<p>I hope Chicago drops down a few places so that the Ivy League vultures redirect their attention to other schools and stop massacring Chicago’s acceptance rate.</p>
<p>Other than that, I don’t really care. But still, how many days before the new list is out?</p>
<p>^^ ~6 days basing on USNWR’s countdown clock w/o the leak of course… ;p</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is crap but we’ll see.</p>
<p>"Where even in “nice” upper middle class suburbs, the GC’s serve simultaneously as college counselors and as social workers, they have a huge number of students that they can’t possibly get to know beyond a 15 minute conversation once a year, and where the bulk of their college-related time is spent either looking under rocks for scholarship money, or doing the paperwork related to the state and directional state u’s. "</p>
<p>You dont seem to know TJ. First off the GCs there have lots of issues besides college counseling - TJ kids suffer from mental illnesses, parental divorce, and all kinds of issues. Maybe not all the same ones as at upper middle class neighborhood school but then they have their own issues with stress, sleep problems, etc.</p>
<p>They also have LOTS of students per GC. AFAIK the same number as in any other FCPS high school.</p>
<p>They also have lots of paperwork to do. And, btw, about half of all TJ grads went to instate state schools this year. Now thats UVA and W&M instead of ODU or VCU, for the most part, but is the paperwork really less at UVA? </p>
<p>TJ is not the kind of bubble you seem to think it is.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Aww, c’mon man. It’s that bad yet; I mean, Chicago still gets fewer applicants than peer Northwestern. Enjoy your inflated acceptance rate while you can! :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh crap, I posted this year’s list by accident. I hope Bob won’t fire me! </p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>…can’t be this year’s list … no Wake Forest from Morth [sic] Carolina!</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>sparkeye that was a good list. i’m interested to see where that brandeis BC William and Mary and NYU group ends up</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What ?</p>
<p>confidentialcoll, what happened to northwestern , on your arbitrarily made list?</p>
<p>^^its number 11? “NW” obviously standing for northwestern??</p>
<p>and i rather agree with confidentialcoll’s list.</p>
<p>@seadog overseas…
i dont get why the list should be considered crap just because the poster put caltech a couple of ranks lower.</p>
<p>its a pretty credible list</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There was a typo in USNWR’s preview list of the upcoming 2011 ranking. They listed Wake Forest as being in “MC” (Morth Carolina) instead of “NC” (North Carolina). So, either way Xiggi’s initial incorrect list of year 2010’s ranking can’t be valid for 2011, as he joked, because Wake Forest is now in the year 2011 mix of the top 25.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>-_- </p>
<p>Let’s wait for the real thing. THEN you can tell me if list is credible.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>disclosure: where I put colleges had virtually nothing to do with where I thought individual colleges <em>should</em> be (which is what most other predictors post), it just was a prediction on what the actual US News rankings will look like in a few days based on Hawkette’s analysis of how changes in CDS data will affect ranking and based on how USNews is proposing to change the methodology. </p>
<p>But yeah, we will see in a few days.</p>
