Thanks for your comprehensive list. Would you prefer that your kid attend a university on this list?

They attend two of them. Why do you ask?

The numbers list is better.

Ok

On that list too many discrepancies. No Barnard which is usually only behind Wellesley in terms of women's schools (should be in the 40s). Cornell too low. Harvard too low. USC Tufts are both too low. No way UCLA is a head of Georgetown (at least not on planet Earth). Lot of discrepancies--suggest you look for the chain from a couple years ago about tiers of schools. I am tired but I am sure I could find a lot more.

Since my child graduated from Swarthmore, I’ll put that school at the top of my list.

Yawn. Does OP really think we care about his (yes, his) rankings? That we don’t know that rankings exist? That there are different rankings with different methodologies? That no ranking is sufficiently precise to differentiate between similarly rated schools? That rankings are only one aspect of selecting a school? Need I go on?

Tiresome, tiresome, tiresome…
