In the "let's get all excited about meaningless things with suspect methodologies" department, in the new US News and World Report rankings BU seems to have moved up to #20. That's a not-insignificant jump from where we were when I'd applied (I think we were at #27 two years ago?).
Interestingly, we are tied with George Washington. Guess it doesn't really matter that I forgot to apply there after all...
