New USNWR rankings coming out in one week. Post predictions here!

[Anonymous]

Last year, the rankings were released around 9 pm eastern on a Monday night. Do we expect the same this year? That would be in about an hour.

Key Methodological Notes
This year’s rankings will reflect greater stability than recent editions due to two key factors: graduate outcomes data and ranking categories.

Graduate Outcomes Data
The College Scorecard did not update its institutional graduate earnings and debt data in time for our analysis. As a result, we will reuse the same data from the previous edition for the 10% of our formula that these factors represent in total. We anticipate future updates to this data, especially with recent legislative changes and our ongoing communication with the College Scorecard.

Not sure if they will release them on Rosh Hashanah. Bad karma.

I lived in the DMV briefly before starting a family. I’m so glad I got out before I had kids.

This link is not an updated ranking. That is the 2025 ranking from Sept 2024.

I'm going to drink lots of red bull and stay up all night and constantly hit refresh on the USN&WR web site so that I can be the very first person to see the new rankings. And that will make me feel really special. And everyone here will be jealous that I posted about it first.
