I think US News and World Report just came out with the 2005 rankings. They only give 1-4 though.

you could always use the princetown review website - you can sort them by GPA, MCAT score etc. All depends on what you want to rank by......if it is research dollars etc then you could always go to the bookstore and look at the US News review book....

Am I wrong in thinking that Cal's lower ranking (21) is east coast bias?

From what I know, two of the major factors taken into account in school rankings involves student retention and alumni donations. Cal isnt high in either number, the former b.c of the relative rigor compared to many of the privates (cough..stanfurd..cough..). Hence the 21...

yeah we aren't a private school so our funds are considerably lower than pretty much all the top private schools out there. but still in my opinion, biased or not haha, is one of the best places to get an education.

go Bears!
