I'm trying to decide if I should apply to Depaul University and am curious about how the school ranks within the US. Does anyone have insights or resources on their current standings in national rankings?
DePaul University is a well-regarded institution with varying rankings depending on the specific area of study. The U.S. News and World Report is a valuable resource for this information - they do an annual ranking of colleges and universities in the United States based on several different criteria.
Keep in mind that while rankings can provide a general sense of a school's reputation, they shouldn't be the sole factor in your decision process. Admission decisions should also consider factors such as the programs you're interested in, the school's culture, location, affordability, and other aspects that might be important to you personally.
For example, DePaul is known for its excellent business and communication programs. If these are areas that you're interested in, DePaul could be a great fit regardless of its overall ranking. The university also is located in Chicago which can provide great opportunities for internships and job placements.
Remember to use rankings as just one tool in your college search and focus on finding a good fit for your specific goals and needs!
