<p>I wonder what’s up with Fordham’s extremely low rank? I suppose that it’s because it so often acts as a backup for students applying to the very top schools that it ends up getting hammered.</p>
<p>Same sort of thing with UC Riverside. When you’re usually competing with UC Berkeley and UCLA, you’re likely to look pretty bad in this type of ranking. Either that, or Riverside really is considered pretty undesirable.</p>
