OT--wikipedia's summary of college rankings - TrumpCard - 08-12-2015

The summary is that Stanford is #1 by most measures, notwithstanding the U.S. News rankings.

Also, you can see why U$C does not beat Stanford for too many academically-oriented recruits:

Per this article, as you might expect, kids care about academic reputation a lot more than they care about the U.S. News ranking.
U$C's academic reputation is well below its Top-25 U.S. News ranking.

From the article I get when clicking on that link, it would appear that $C loses academically-oriented recruits to Stanford because they ... hate a capella?
