The Moment Irvine Parents look forward to: Release of the US News Rankings

[Irvinecommuter]

2014 Rankings came out today with Princeton as no. 1.

I have never been a rankings guy but am guilty of checking where Cal is at ever year (no. 20 this year).  I do find the ranking pretty ridiculous when Cal Tech "falls" to no. 10 when it was no. 1 a few years back.  Also, Cal at no. 20 is pretty ridiculous.

Really?  UCSB is higher than UCI??  41 vs 49.  Not saying that UCI should be any higher, but UCSB is better than UCI??

it feels good to be a graduate of the #23 ranked school in the country.

Do you pronounce it  car/nuh/gee or car/neg/ee?  (hopefully you can read the difference, haha.

I always thought it was one way until I watched a history show which pronounced Andrew's last name differently than I grew up hearing.

I also love how they made UCLA and USC tie, haha.

That's funny. I just scrolled down to find USC, then I wrote my post then I realized there were like 5 #23s and didn't go back and clarify.

Not as good as I feel as a graduate of one of the three #20s.
