According to U.S. News & World Report, Harvard University is back as the Number One ranking national university for the first time in 12 years. It beat out Princeton, Yale, and MIT to claim the top spot. Harvard also takes the number one for it's graduate business school, followed by Stanford and the Wharton School (U. Penn).
Columbia University comes in at a three way tie with Duke and University of Chicago at number eight, which is one step higher then it was last year. Columbia's graduate business school comes in at number nine.
Yahoo News lends Harvard it's success to the fact that it scaled back the size of it's classes, "Harvard reports the percentage of students in classes under 20 students rose from 69 percent to 75 percent since last year's report, while the percentage in classes bigger than 50 fell from 13 percent to 9 percent."
It's good to see these kind of results cause it reminds me of what great odds I'm up against, nothing that's insurmountable, but it is definitely humbling.
