2012 U.S. News Rankings (March 15th... It's official)

[Mickey Quicknumbers]

Does anyone else have the insider data?

I'll consider buying it and posting it if nobody else has it.

[clone22]

berk, you make me a sad panda. Tied with uva? friggin virginia?

[LLB2JD]

UT is now a T14

[Curry]

LOL@ UCLA, Vandy, Georgetown, Emory, NYU, and Berkeley.

[FuManChusco]

you just now

USNWR is a TTT periodical. Irony...

from page 4:

Ironically, US News is a TTT publication and would be unranked in a list of top U.S. publications.

congrats. you're so creative.

[czelede]

UT is now a T14

T14 is the distinction for schools that have been ranked in the top 10 at some point or the other. UT is not a T14. It is ranked in the top 14 though, for this year.

[BlueDiamond]

davis went up???? that a joke?

[Gemini]

davis went up???? that a joke?

My question is how in the hell it shot up so much???

[ATR]

LOL@ UCLA, Vandy, Georgetown, Emory, NYU, and Berkeley.

Really? UCLA dropped one spot, Vandy went up a spot, and NYU held steady at #6. Emory and Berkeley are pretty lulzy, though.

[Barbie]

hahahahahaha to CU!
(I'm bitter- my only straight up rejection of the cycle lol)

[stratocophic]

Pictured: WUSTL stylin' on the T18.

baller status... and so outrageously meaningless.

[AreJay711]

Why are there so mane ties? You wouldn't really expect that.

[BlueDiamond]

Villanova #84.. next year third tier

[99.9luft]

Holy shit at UT.

seriously. and davis

[FireNextTime]

davis went up???? that a joke?

My question is how in the hell it shot up so much???

Probably by reporting 105% employment at graduation.

[Deuce]

whatup Texas!

[Barbie]

LOL UGA

LOL@ UCLA, Vandy, Georgetown, Emory, NYU, and Berkeley.

Really? UCLA dropped one spot, Vandy went up a spot, and NYU held steady at #6. Emory and Berkeley are pretty lulzy, though.

Given that UCLA has dropped in literally every ranking I've seen this year, yes lol UCLA. Lol Vandy because my best bet was them beating Texas into the T14 given their placement (or lack of placement now) compared to the other schools. This was NYU's last shot at being five I think. Their 75th percentiles shot up (even though that doesn't much matter) by a large amount. Next year, Chicago's rankings will include the Rubensteins and the new LRAP. NYU is basically out of the top 5.

[redsoxfan2495]

Good year for Michigan, bad year for Berkeley, and the T14 has been breached. No movement in the T6. Not all that exciting overall.

[DrackedaryMaster]

UF is still a T1 again, barely hanging on at 47

FSU back up to 50

Miami - Crash down to 77?

[JusticeHarlan]

LOL UGA

And an 8 spot drop for Emory.

T15 or T13? Pick one.

[refusetolose]

Maybe we should just start calling it the T13? Would that be too bold?
