Ceonocyte remember that this is the research-related ranking which incorporates NIH funding into its equation. With that being said UW gets major dinero, I believe the third or fourth most in the country. Moreover, last year UW was in a three way tie for 11th place.

so now we have to PAY for all the details?!?!? how obnoxious!

 

[Hero]

Any idea where (approx) is the line for between top tier & 2nd tier; 2nd tier & lower tier? Just curious.

UCSF is looking good. They also picked up a spot in the Primary Care rankings, placing at number three.

In the primary rankings, I'm sure many don't care, but Michigan State droped from number 6 to 17! Did they change the way they do the rankings or are some of these schools simply changing?

 

[Yogi Bear]

i think ucsf will continue to climb in the years to come. they recently split w/ stanford cuz their joint hospital deal was a catastrophe that costed both hospitals over a hundred million dollars.

i expect yale to climb up a few spots in 2004 when they open a new research building in the med school area==more funding = higher research ranking = overall higher ranking.

[lyle]

Not much has changed...but go Pitt...on the move up to a tie for #17.

 

[matthew0126]

u-dub has always been awesome, at least according to my friends in seattle. superior instruction + research=#10 rank

 

[MacGyver]

I noticed that WashU eclipsed Penn and Duke and moved up to #3 behind hopkins and harvard.

last year WashU was tied for 4th with Penn and duke was in 3rd.
