Well UCLA and UCB are taking 2 spots. Rice probably takes another. So it's between Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Emory, maybe WashU for the last 2 spots unless they're ties. 

 

The real ranking shouldn't even include UCLA and Berkeley as T20 for undergrad rankings, but the current state of USNR favors them. Dartmouth and ND lose on social mobility / diversity. According to the past rankings, ND, Vanderbilt, WashU, and Rice should be 15-20. It's really down to Georgetown, Emory, or maybe Berkeley. 

 

washu cheeks. everyone i met there is weird and honestly scary. idrk what's up with their admissions criteria, maybe they prioritize certain hign in demand things, and deprioritize personality. 

 

Lol your friend would get fired if he told you. Don't think he's that stupid

 

Huge drop, this is really going to disrupt the finance industry. The most consequential USNews ranking drop since last year
