Cool story bro... but you'll definitively need better research skills if you want to survive university.

Nice but doubtful. Had you placed as much effort in your initial question as you did in this reply, perhaps you'd have attracted some real answers.

That's really from DesignIntellignce. It's the current "go to" for ranking (the Gourman report is long dead), but their methods are questionable.

It's based on a public survey. The schools do quite a bit of outreach and pr to try and convince alumni to respond positively about their alma mater. The results have been skewed towards schools with larger alumni bases.

^ Yes. My inbox is repeatedly peppered with such requests from my school, and it gets annoying. (Of course, I'm easily annoyed.)

The survey is national, so only schools with a lot of graduates in other states can make it to the top, while some very high quality regional schools are placed very low.

Sorry for the delayed reply.

In short a survey is sent out to selected firms and people w/o consideration of program size or the marketing machine behind the program (we all know examples of both). So you can have a mill of less than thoughtful students or a technically unskilled individuals coming out of a program that may not be reflected in the ranking.

There's really no "best" architecture schools in California, just different places with different focuses and assets for students. Probably best to if you outline what you type of work you are interested in and what you want/need in a campus experience. Practical or theoretical? 4 year, 5 year professional, or Masters (professional) degree? Does it matter if it part of a campus environment with other non-design degree programs? What kind of work do you want to do after graduation? Do you want to continue to live post-graduation in California, or somewhere else?
