It’s largely based on prestige (I.e. what people think about a brand even if it lacks substance) and to some extent grant money. Shands carries UF in a lot of ways.
UGA shot up these rankings because 1.) Atlanta exploded with transplants due to major company HQ relocations and 2.) HOPE/Zell scholarship that gives in-state students free tuition. Gave us the ability to start a College of Engineering about 10 years ago but we had our hopes for a med school squashed by the state interests in Augusta (where the public Medical College is currently situated) so we likely won’t be able to advance much higher.
