Message: [QUOTE="chicago312, post: 2280273, member: 8226"] Cincinnati has a decent medical school because that was the one area of the university that the civic leaders in Cincinnati invested in when UC was a metropolitan (rather than state) university. For the rest of it, they were quite content to allow it remain a rather undistinguished regional commuter school. If you really bear down into some of the National Research Council's rankings of doctoral programs, you find that Cincinnati is an AAU quality medical school attached to a MAC level university. They don't have a single member of the National Academies of Engineering or Science on their faculty, and their undergraduate reputation and selectivity are garbage. All these things matter to the AAU. They mattered in Nebraska being kicked out, and they matter in schools like Cincinnati and UAB having no shot at an invitation. [/QUOTE]
