WashU, Tufts, Northwestern, NYU(Stern), or Vanderbilt?!?

It appears that neither of these rankings give any weight to measurements of the quality of the student body nor to nearly all of the Graduation/Retention, Faculty Resources and Financial Resources measurements that are useful for evaluating the quality of an undergraduate experience. The results are again highly inconsistent with how most observers would see American educational institutions.

<p>Emphasis on that conclusion. Hawkette, you are a voice of reason on these boards.</p>

atnyu, in the next 10 or so years, if NYU continues to attract astute high school students, the school will be in the top 20. NYU is a top 40 school now, but this may change.

<p>What’s funny is that is what students from 20 years ago recall saying: they were always there before the school took off. However, I think you are right and that NYU will eventually be among the likes of Georgetown, Notre Dame, Emory, etc.</p>
