USNWR 2007 rankings CONFIRMED, REAL; from xoxo

yea i watched the thread develop, and it seemed like a slew of non-believers eventually warmed up to them ... if it's a fake, it's easily the best one that's been done (and the katrina footnote is just a superscript "2" next to Tulane at 43) ... given the general xoxo approval, the only way i see it being fake is if all of that site decided to pull this off against lsd  

it's good to see boalt's jump, the only strong opinion i've ever had about usnwr is that it was drastically underrated

It looks like Cardozo jumped a bunch of spaces- makes me happy, Im not going there I dont think, but i really was impressed with them and their student body so its nice to see it climbing the ranks. it WILL be Tier 1 within 5 years, I have no doubt.

Im kinda shocked that Stanford overtook Harvard- or i guess that Harvard dropped so much! I mean, its not that Stanford gained much as Harvard plummeted in their index, no? Am i seeing that wrong?

NYU and Columbia are tied again. With NYU getting all those Columbia faculty members and its increased selectivity, do you think it will overtake Col next year?

And what happened to Duke's rise?

Oh, and go Boalt.

Aw nuts, Syracuse dropped out of the top 100. Maybe I should rethink my options...?

I know right, this make things complicated.

Where does Brooklyn rank?  American jumps from 47 to 43 hmmm...

NYC schools:
St. John's is at 80, Brooklyn's at 56, Cardozo's at 53, Fordham's at 32, Columbia & NYU T4, and it looks like Hofstra dropped out of the T100.

I thought Brooklyn was 58?

That was last year. They picked up a couple spaces.

In tier 2, it's my understanding that jumping or dropping a few spots is no biggie. Though, I'm glad to see Cardozo separating itself from Brooklyn.

Honestly, I know its tempting, but try and not make your decision based on one year's shift alone.

Choose the school you want to go to, don't let these rankings influence you.

word from xoxo is that its fake. someone admitted to making it.
