Penn: #4 in U.S. News Rankings The University has once again moved up another notch in the US News & World Report rankings of Best National Universities. Penn has come in--along with for California Institute of Technology, Duke University, MIT and Stanford--tied for fourth place. Princeton has retained its place at the top of the list, with Harvard and Yale still right behind in second. Penn's overall score--out of a possible 100--is 93 points. The universities were ranked on 18 criteria, including academic reputation, graduation and retention rate, faculty resources, class size, student faculty/ratio, and financial resources. The faculty resources rank earned Penn first place. Penn was included in the list of universities with the highest proportion of classes under 20, with 71% in that category. It also made the list of those with the lowest acceptance rate, at 22%, while Harvard tops that list at 11%. The rankings will be included in the magazine's upcoming issue, 2003 Top Colleges.
