OK. I'll use Princeton Review's Academic rating. Description: How hard students work and how much they get back for their efforts, on a scale of 60–99. This rating is calculated from student survey results and statistical information reported by administrators. Factors weighed include how many hours students study outside of the classroom and the quality of students the school attracts. We also considered students' assessments of their professors, class size, student–teacher ratio, use of teaching assistants, amount of class discussion, registration, and resources.
Brown 92 Emory 91 Cornell 90 Northwestern 88 UNC and UVA 85 CNU 83 UCLA 81 UF 78 W&L didn't have a rating, likely because they didn't provide enough information. |
