Congrats

On the U.S. News rankings site why do a lot of schools show up twice or more times in different rankings?

Are Columbia, Yale, Rutgers, and Purdue, Washington ,Michigan, Wisconsin the lower ranked ones or is there any reason it would be more likely I would be accepted into those? Rankings or the fact that with the exception of Columbia and Yale, they are all public and public is easier on domestics? I'm just curious because I just applied to ones that were suggested as good choices by my professors for my research interests and am not really familiar with the rankings system. Is there some link to a site where they are ranked? Also I'm not sure if this makes a difference like being domestic does, but I'm also female.

Yes I am domestic. And yeah, I mean ORC for MIT and ORFE for Princeton. From the results search it looks like University of Washington already sent out its acceptances? I would be really happy if I got into Wisconsin though, I really like their program.

I'm a bit late posting this, but I didn't find this site unti recently after I've sent in all my applications. I'm just wondering how my chances are, and if I should start applying to master's programs now in case I don't get in anywhere. I guess I'm just ultra nervous now that acceptances are being sent out according to the results list.
