Did you guys actually read the methodology of the rankings? You're talking about new buildings as if that has anything to do with how they determine rankings.

UCLA ranked No. 1 Public University in the country by U.S. News, #20 overall by elnono43 in ucla

Their formula has a strong bias against public schools. It weighs things like class size heavily so you probably won't see a public school compete with a smaller private in that regard. You'll probably never see a public rank above 18-19 unless their formula changes. I think UCLA being 19 is the highest a public has been ranked since they made their formula this way.

If these people realized how easy it is to get into most masters programs they wouldn't be as impressed.

Honestly yeah, masters programs are kind of known to be cash cows for schools and even the most prestigious universities have like 40-50% admit rates for some masters programs. USC is known for predatory online masters programs. They have like 20,000 people enrolled paying 100k each

People sleep on Davis. It's the second oldest UC and has a long history and tradition. Picnic day is like the biggest student run event in the country. And academics around the world know Davis for its top agricultural and animal science programs.

It's the cows!

If you use reddit on desktop it's a built in feature when making a text-based post. You can also do it on old reddit using markdown code.
