None of my top school are on your list, so you are wrong. Your priorities must be mess up.

Why does it “count”? It is just as useless as the others.

No LACs? Both Forbes and WSJ have Williams, Amherst, and Pomona in the top 25 for their combined lists. Pomona is in the top 20 on Niche too.

You're lieing and I hop you loose sleep for it. Yes not all colleges report to WSJ, but all top colleges do. Only a few are omitted from the WSJ ranking and most are LACs.

WSJ uses government data, so not sure what PP is talking about.

So wSJ might be more accurate than USNews considering the Columbia scandal.

Well, UVA is tied with CMU on USNWR for no 25, so I'm gathering your kid didn't get into UVA?

and UC Berkeley is much better than all these:16. Vanderbilt 17. Washington U 18. Rice 19. Emory 20. USC 20. tie CMU 22.Notre Dame 22. tie U Michigan 22. tie UCLA 25. Georgetown 25. NYU

But it isn't. At the grad level sure but for undergrad it's declined the most in the top 30.

It did not. USNWR puts too much emphasis on silly factors like size of endowment and contributions lowering public universities' rankings which have nothing to do with academics..

How is size of endowment silly when that's all these schools brag about? Move along Berkeley booster.

Berkeley is ranked lower on WSJ than USNews btw. USNEWS gives Berkeley one of it's highest ranking.

Lol, "HYPSM" is nothing more than a college prep/cram industry gimmick to drum up their business that charges $10,000 to $1.5 million per student.

[Anonymous]

just the next class of parents repeating the same posts as last year's parents over and over and over
