What was Colby ranked last year?
|
18. I believe they were ranked 11 the year before. |

You can't sell online ads or magazines if the rankings don't have some movement. It is helpful to look at the rankings data over time to get a sense of school tiers: https://andyreiter.com/datasets/

What is your interpretation of that? |
| U of Maryland is 55. |
MI GOP has starved MI higher ed, so MI takes a ton of full pay out of state in order to maintain its ranking. |
True, there have been some schools that are consistently at the top with just a little movement to keep people interested (I mean to reflect important US News criteria changes). It is not surprising that Princeton, Harvard, Stanford, and Yale have all been #1 in multiple years and haven't ever been lower than 7. On the liberal arts college side, Williams, Amherst, and Swarthmore have all been #1 multiple times and haven't been lower than 4. |

I guess Columbia shouldn't have been juicing their stats. Quite the fall this year! |
And jumps for Smith and Vassar, right? |
Well, the total number of top 4% kids nationwide is greater than the number of top 10% kids in Michigan so... |
Columbia got greedy and overdid the fraud last year, which is how they got caught. Everyone knew that Columbia is not really good enough to be #2. If they had stuck with their previous level of fraud, they might still be a T10. |
HYPS stay on top of the USNWR ratings with minimal movement. They’re the real deal. |
| Rank became 100% bogus when they began factoring in Pell grant students and fake diversify nonsense, which has literally zero bearing on prestige, quality of education, or frankly anything. |
You must be upper middle class and white. Nice. |
