Pretty interesting that only 5 schools maintained their spot compared to US News. MIT at #4, Penn at #7, Dartmouth at #12, and Cornell at #17, and UVA at #25.

You guys make up narratives to support your biases. These rankings have different criteria and different methodology, combining them makes little sense as some of them are not even measuring academics. Schools with great academics that send a lot of there students to grad school will have poor ROI lowering them on this list. See John's Hopkins, UChicago, and Emory as prime examples. On the ROi rankings they rank low. On the academic rankings they are consistent across the board.

Many of them measure academics, many of them measure ROI as well, the schools that rose to the top have great academics and provide a good ROI. Seems worthwhile since college is expensive. Also Johns Hopkins, UChicago, and Emory don't send more to grad school than other places necessarily. They just don't have as good outcomes for whatever reason.

Feeder schools to what exactly. This doesn't specify. Another crap list. And no
These schools have just as good of ROI but it takes a few years for theor students to get there as they are in grad school.....

It looks like feeder schools to the top grad programs. Read the comments next to each school.

Williams is generally underrated by the public because most haven't heard of it and it's so small. But those in the know understand it's extremely elite.

Money is very focused on ROI/smartest college investment so UNC probably performs really well for in-state students

The only purpose these lists serve is to bolster the poster's ego. A bulk ranking like this is meaningless. A more meaningful ranking would be for a specific major since that varies greatly by college. For example, MOST ivies aren't especially strong at engineering (yes there are a few), but overall not all that impressive.

Sure ivies aren’t necessarily the best at engineering but their undergrads end up getting great jobs with an engineering degree. Many of them even go on to start their own companies - if you look at the top schools that produce entrepreneurs, it’s a lot of ivies and elite privates like Stanford, MIT, and Duke

Berkeley is also a startup factory, the founders of Google went to UMich and UMD for undergrad, founder of Reddit went to UVA, etc. You can hit do the entrepreneurship route from public schools too
