You're welcome! However a caveat... There are several important factors that should go into the rankings and peer reputation is only one factor. Student selectivity and institutional resources matter for the entire quality of the school. Peer Reputation can also be gamer as well.


Are you sure this is correct? Here's what someone on CollegeConfidential put:

"Top 10
1 -MIT
1 -Stanford
1 -Columbia
4 - Princeton
4 - Yale
6 - Harvard
6 - Northwestern
6 - UC - Berkeley
9 - Chicago
9 - Penn
9 - Caltech
9 - Rice"


That was from 2021. I don't have a subscription for this year. Here is a link to the College Confidential discussion - https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/t/2022-usnews-rankings-posted/3575443/181

You must be old, still following the old almanac.

Ask your grandkids if you want to know what’s been happening since.

Exactly, they aren't right. I don't have a CC account but I have a USnews account. I can post a picture.

To be honest this updated list actually doesn't really surprise me too much. The only change I'd make here is bump up Chicago to ~6 or even ~4, given what I know about the faculty hires they've made over the last couple of years.

There is no updated list, what you posted wholly incorrect. Can someone just buy a subscription, it was $33 for me.

Whoever posted that on CC is just lying. They didn't even post the scores for the supposed list they made just the ranking. If Harvard is ranked 6th for reputation then what would the corresponding score be?!?! It's weird someone would lie like that but even weirder that no one wants to verify.

I mean if you bought the subscription couldn’t you just share the data yourself…?

I'm pretty sure this is the counselor assessment score, not the peer assessment one.

I did. I'm the poster that posted the first top 25 list. Someone else rearranged the order.

This list is not based in reality. I graduated from Cornell and hated it. Dark, cold and depressing. Unfriendly students.

The only list that matters is the US News and World Report on top National Colleges/Universities. The top 5 Public’s for combination of excellent education, school spirit, athletics, college atmosphere, and job/internships.

1 - UCLA
2 - UC Berkeley
3 - Michigan
4 - UVA
5 - University of Florida, UC Santa Barbara, and UNC

As my family is not in CA - the three are Michigan, UVA and University of Florida

A Cornell alumni

I was just about to post that this peer list has a huge bias against public universities which are the actual power houses in promoting access to quality education, social mobility, academic performance (collaborative well cited research) and popular team sports.

There was a post way back with some attempt to measure academic performance internationally and the public universities did way better.
