<p>Much of the land near USC is not exactly prime LA real estate, so reclaiming some of the ghetto wouldn’t be unreasonably expensive. And don’t forget they can always put Reggie Bush in charge of fund raising.</p>

<p>And Notre Dame will overtake Cornell by 2016.</p>

<p>“And don’t forget they can always put Reggie Bush in charge of fund raising.”</p>

<p>LMAO!!! LOL~</p>

1463

<p>It will be very hard to put Reggie Bush in charge of fund raising considering he’s been banned from the campus and rightfully so.</p>

<p>Now if only Notre Dame could get football heroes from 60 years ago to fundraise they’d race to the top.</p>

1464

<p>^ They wanted to move U$C down to the OC in the early '90s…Now, they just want to gentrify the existing neighborhood with higher density red brick buildings:

<p>" he’s been banned from the campus"</p>

<p>And we all know how tight USC is on enforcing rules. </p>

<p>Hey, I kid the Trojans, but I’m glad to see the old world order shaken up a bit. Watching USC, ND, and Wake crash the party of the staid old timers is fun…like the Blues Brothers barging into that nice restaurant. I wish them well in overtaking Cornell, Berkeley, etc.</p>

1466

<p>^ Haha…Pee Wee Herman…“We have a Dom Perignon at $175?”
“That’ll be fine, pal.”</p>

<p>bluebayou - I am not sure that citing graduate school rankings, and somewhat old ones at that, done by the same magazine whose methodology is very questionable, is a very convincing argument. On the other hand, I cited hard stats for undergrads. And just so you know, I am not really bashing UC Davis and the others, I am simply pointing out that calling a school where at least 25% of the undergrads are below or barely average in reading comprehension a top 40 school is beyond suspect. I actually like UC Davis a lot and think they have made wonderful progress. But I am sorry, as far as I can tell it is pretty much an average to somewhat above average school. This ranking is complete nonsense.</p>

1468

<p>Those areas are almost exclusively students anyway, and USC owns the university village. The academic campus will expand but the USC footprint will not.</p>

<p>And while UC and UCLA top USC in US News’ ranking of economic diversity among top schools, it’s kind of hard to refer to the #3 school with dollar signs. Tuition at USC is like a graduated tax: those who can afford it pay sticker price, while those with double-digit EFCs like myself go for next to nothing.</p>

1469

<p>^ You’re exactly right…the ‘$’ is old…USC enrolls its share of Pell Grantees too.</p>

<p>Perhaps The Prophylactics is better? :)</p>

1470

<p>^ I personally have no problem with the condom reference. I love saving the world from HIV, STDs, and unwanted pregnancies. The world would be a much better place if everyone had access to condoms.</p>

1471

<p>Alright then, USED Prophylactics…or to keep the Blues Brothers theme going, “one soiled”. :D</p>

1472

<p>^ Now with making the condoms used you’re just reaching for an insult, and it’s painful to watch.</p>

1473

<p>Would someone please post the top 25 universities and LACs sorted by exclusivity and if possible including 25-75 sat ranges and percent of class in top 10 percent of HS class. Thanks</p>

1474

<p>

</p>

<p>This looks just right. But why not rank them in tiers?</p>

<p>Tier 1:
Harvard University 98
MIT 98
Princeton 98
Stanford 98 (there seems to a discrepency in the USNWR online)
Yale 98</p>

<p>Tier 2:
Columbia 93
UC-Berkeley 93
Caltech 92
Cornell 92
Johns Hopkins 92
Brown 91
Chicago 91
Penn 91
Duke 90
Dartmouth 89
Northwestern 89
Michigan 88</p>

<p>Tier 3:
Carnegie Mellon 87
Georgetown 87
Virginia 86
UCLA 85
Vanderbilt 85
Georgia Tech 84
UNC 84
WUSTL 84
Emory 83
Notre Dame 83
Texas 83
USC 83
Rice 82
Wisconsin-Madison 81</p>

<p>What other rankings are there besides Forbes and this?</p>

1476

<p>^ The Washington Monthly. [Washington</a> Monthly](<a href=“http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/college_guide/rankings/national_university_rank.php]Washington”>http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/college_guide/rankings/national_university_rank.php)</p>

<p>But the criteria are different from those of Forbes’ and USNews’. [“A</a> Note on Methodology” by the editors](<a href=“http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2005/0509.methodology.html]"A”>http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2005/0509.methodology.html)</p>

1477

<p>RML</p>

<p>The cut-off for Tier 2 should be 90. Dartmouth, NU and Mich should be in another tier.</p>

1478

<p>^^I say it should be at 93.</p>

1479

<p>

</p>

<p>And Cal Tech has, what, 1k undergrads, and another 1k grads?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>UCLA by UC standards has a pretty small campus, 419 acres. The other Ucs are > 1,000 acres.</p>

<p>tsdad:</p>

<p>I agree with some of what you stated, and little of Pizzagirl’s last response; I don’t know what orientation she’s from wrt schools and etc, but there are a lot more fierce rivalries. </p>

<p>But what put USC probably over UCLA was the inclusion of hs counselors to the rankings and lowering the “peer” element. </p>

<p>I was just throwing out some thoughts why I thought USC was pretty limited in upward movement in the US News’ rankings (as are UCLA and Cal). You were free to respond and create conversation, which you did. (And I do know among a few other things the diff between “it’s” and “its.”)Thanks for responding…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well, perhaps you do have a point. But, honeslty, I don’t see any difference in academic quality and academic prestige between say, Brown (91 points) and Dartmouth (89 points), for example.</p>
