| Based on earlier comments, it sounds like people want to base academic rankings on job placement and salary statistics. Those two don’t necessarily correlate. If you’re comparing an Ivy classics major to a State U CS major, the comparison makes no sense from an academic perspective, but the CS major will have a higher salary. What’s the point of the ROI focus? To make the arts look bad? Don’t people already know which majors pay? ROI is a dumb way to rate academic excellence. |

| Aside from Berkeley and UCLA, the UC schools are wildly over rated. Georgetown and ND are also overated. |

What? Cornell has been ranked between 11-18 since the USNW list started. |

People love to hate on the bottom half of the Top 25, but there really aren’t good candidates to replace them, so they will stay.
The biggest trend I see in the ratings is the elevation of publics. That has a lot to do with their upward mobility of Pell Grant students, especially in CA. |

College degree is useless waste of money if you serve at a restaurant or make coffee at Starbucks afterwards. It's not everything but most important factor |

| Why are people asking this question? Good schools are good schools, if you are going down this road you are lost as a person. |

Except Georgetown's School of Foreign Service. |

looking at your list, are you saying an inverse relationship exists between size of endowment and potential? Yale 43 billion vs Brown 7 billion? |
