How is it unequivocally not a top academic school? What are your criteria for being a top academic school? Or are you just trolling? I can't tell
Did you not read read the link i provided you? The 115th ranking wasn't derived out of thin air. The 73% acceptance rate, the 41% graduation rate, the middle 50th percent of SAT scores that dips into the 400s and the inability to place graduates at top medical, law, business and PHD programs all are factored in.
Why don't you list the reason why you think it is a top academic institution and why USN&WR has it wrong? Do you even know what trolling is because it is bizarre that you would question if i am doing that for merely pointing out the obvious fact that Oregon is a terrible academic institution (unless, of course, you think that similar schools, such as Clarkson or St Thomas, also are academic juggernauts).
I do, however, find it amusing that there actually are people out there who are either stupid or naive enough to think that Oregon is anything but an academic wasteland.
