College Bound Atlasians?

I could not imagine being in a class with 700 other students. Small classes are much much better. The professor is more willing to meet with you on an individual basis, and the professor actually knows you by name.

I had a class with a couple of hundred people, and showed up at the professor's office hour, and he knew who I was.

True, I had him before in a somewhat smaller course, and I showed up for a specific reason, to prove that I was exempt from the prerequisite.

Speaking of US Public Universities...which others are at the very top of the list?

UC-Berkley
UMichigan??
Virginia?

Mistake to include those two (I might be blurring law school lists here)?  Am I missing anyone else?

You are a gi-normous buzzkill sometimes Lunar.  Sure, we could look at USNWR,  but that takes the fun out of things.

True, it's more fun to just make stuff up. SUNY Cortland clearly has the best academics of any public college in this country.

The sad thing is, I'm not quite sure if that was a jab at me, USNWR, or both.  I'll assume that it was at both.

I was just being humorous. SUNY Cortland has some really easy graduate courses, so I figured it'd be funny.

Its hard to tell with the SUNYs, some of them are pretty darn good (Stony Brook, Binghamton i think), so I wasn't sure with Cortland.

     I'll be going to UC Berkeley.

That's my number 1 school choice, but I live in Washington, so I can't afford it... why do I have to love a public out-of-state school?!

Isn't UDub (my apologies if calling it that is a sacrelige) a very good school in its own right?

Well, it may be, but Berkeley is perhaps the premier public school in the world.

     Washington has a burgeoning physics department, though it is still a mere shadow of Berkeley's physics department.

Didn't you go to a small-ass private school?  It'll be quite a leap for you to go from 7 people in your classroom to 700.  Although physics classes are only ~200.

     I went from being in a class of 1 to a class of 10 when I enrolled there. If I could adapt to the transition from homeschool to private school, I think I can handle the switch to public school.

lol, if you say so.  I don't really see the big difference between 1 and 10.  Also, private schools with such ridiculously small class sizes tend to lavish attention upon you while in Berkeley you're presented with opportunities, but only if you independently pursue them.  No one really cares either way and no one holds your hand and gives you ideas.

One time I used to actually have classes back to back that were 7 people and 700 people respectively.

Well, I didn't say those, I said SUNY Cortland.

     It's a big difference when you enter the class of 10 with literally almost no experience socializing with people your own age.

That list is a joke. Arizona State us in the top 100? UNC is at 38 worldwide and Duke is 32? Arizona State has like a 80% acceptance rate and isn't in the top 100 in the US News ranking. Also, it's just behind Brown. That's all I need to know to judge that list.

80%?  I believe the figure is greater than 95%

Actually, looked it up its 86%
