I agree, I really enjoy all the compilation posts regulus has been making. They are all very informative and cool to see.

Good get! Thanks that was very interesting. Never knew Harvard was once #5 and that Penn has been #6 or #7 for 9 out of the last 10 years. There were a few other noteworthy stats too. . . thx.

I could have sworn that Yale wasn't #1 the first year.

Just realized that in 1987, the top 14 was different, as in Cornell & NW were absent from the T-14 (if I am reading this right.... if I am, wonder who dropped out).

They changed the formula between y1 and y2.

Re: T14 Since the Beginning of U.S. News & World Report Rankings
This is what I've heard. If you look lots of schools change drastically -- Harvard goes from 2 to 5, Chicago from 6 to 2, etc. Michigan is just the most obvious since 1987 is its brief moment in the glory ofJamMasterJ wrote:They changed the formula between y1 and y2.

I find it puzzling that there were no ’88-’89 rankings, but it is possible, I suppose. Neither Google or Bing has a record on ’88-’89. Hmmmm….

They just may not have intended the rankings to be annual from the start - USNWR ranks other grad programs, but it's not annual - more like every 5 years.Skye wrote:I find it puzzling that there were no ’88-’89 rankings, but it is possible, I suppose.
