The lack of capitalization in the title of the thread says as much.

Me either.

Let’s speculate on the methodology without opening the link.

I say they used Google maps search data to figure out which schools are being sought out!

I'll take the bullet.

Quote:Choosing which college or university to attend is a big decision, and everyone wants to make sure they choose the school that’s best for them and their future! We reviewed the schools of interest for our database of more than 1.7 million profiles to find out which colleges and universities students are most eager to attend. Here’s how schools ranked in the United States:

What they say about each school is pretty thin. For example:

Quote:#1: University of California, Los Angeles

Location: Los Angeles, California

Students enrolled: 45,900

Acceptance rate: 14%

Notable attendees:

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Jackie Robinson, Ken Jeong
Carol Burnett
John Williams

UCLA is one of the most well-known schools on the west coast and has had its name changed three times since opening. It’s also one of the major research universities in the U.S. and the only one that was founded in the 20th century.

oh i see thanks. it's just based on applications then. UCLA has been the most applied to school for over a decade.

This is a list of major public schools ranked by state population with a smattering of ivies.

Seems like an intern put this together, when Harvard is considered middle of pack.

What we really lost me was them listing Aaron Hernandez from the University of Florida as a 'notable' attendee.

No Yale, no Princeton, no MIT what's up with that?
