2017 USWR Rankings (according to Cornell)

1. Yale
2. Harvard
2. Stanford
4. Cornell
BostonU, ND, and Cornell are jumping up for sure, solely based on their weirdness.
I guess Cornell wants to jump into the T10
The new rankings come out next week-ish, right?
No idea. I just wish UT could be a t14 lol.

Duke=Vanderbilt=BU. All very generous. UT was pretty alright as well. George Washington & Michigan were stingy (Michigan for obvious reasons) lol

Sorry to crash the URM thread but I creep sometimes and saw this..

My current apartment is around 625 and it has two bedrooms, 1 bath (the bathroom is the only very small part), spacious closets, a hugggge room that is split into a living room and dining area, and kitchen. So I'd say you'll have more than enough space!

I have a 900sqft condo, and it's way more than one person needs. 700 is probably as well.

2017 USWR Rankings (according to Cornell)

1. Yale
2. Harvard
2. Stanford
4. Cornell
BostonU, ND, and Cornell are jumping up for sure, solely based on their weirdness.

Idk man, Cornell doesnt seem to be more selective than Duke or Michigan.

Surprise/Unpopular opinion - Georgetown falls out of the T-14, Texas or UCLA slips in

Jumping in on this to say I agree with you bri! But it could also be me just being salty off getting put on the WL.
+1 for UT slipping into T14 and wildcard forecast: USC overtakes UCLA :shock:

I worded that weird but I just meant it's understandable for Michigan to be stingy while George Washington is less credible for it.
