Isn't "Harvard #1" also?
Yay! Finally back on top of the world!
The rankings are not in alphabetical order if there are ties for a spot, so, actually, Harvard is #1 and Princeton is #2 -- statistical difference between the two nonexistent.
They are in alphabetical order; it's just alphabetized by full name (so Stanford University is before University of Pennsylvania, etc)
princeton is way over rated.
So they finally recovered from Jamal's departure!
