The new rankings are out...I've compared UIC to Depaul, Loyola, and UWM. I'd do it with others, but this takes way too long.

If UIC could just figure out the non-academic portions of the rankings, we have the academics to climb the ladder...we should be well past Depaul and probably Loyola. Kind of curious why our counselor rating is so low compared to Depaul and Loyola when we beat them in almost every academic category....again, it's people not really in the know giving these ratings. Unfortunately, they're steering kids to schools other than UIC because they still think we're Circle Campus.
