A: Where do you go? B: MIT A: Whow, what's your major B: History A: Bummer |

How often are you asked what you college major was? Also, who would be so rude as to make a disparaging remark about said major to your face? This just doesn't happen with normal, polite people. |

But you don't rank colleges on it, you might rank majors within colleges on it. So compare outcomes (e.g., salary at different time periods, grad school placement, student satisfaction) within majors. A college shouldn't be dinged because it has a strong history department that attracts history majors who may take longer to see an ROI compared to a college that has a crappy history department with no majors but a lot of sort of okay CS students. A tech school with a larger proportion of engineering majors will have higher first year salaries, but it's not like you can turn any kid into an engineering major--they have to want that and have that particular skill set and thus they go to a tech school. Doesn't make the school better than a LAC. Compare the bio majors at the tech school with the bio majors at the LAC. |

15 points is the difference between an A and a C. That’s a pretty big difference. |

Or an A and a B, if we're being more realistic. |

There are rankings which have outcome as one of the criterion. |

It's downright ridiculous to talk about the overall USNWR scores as if they're a report card. So Princeton gets an A+, Ohio State gets a D+, and the University of Vermont is a total failure? Good grief! |

What do you have against sundresses? Other than CMU, I'm not sure that any of the ones you listed are particularly spiky. |

Notre Dame is incredibly spiky -- demonstrated Catholics get an enormous boost in the application process. Coming from a Catholic HS, endorsement letters from the Diocese leaders, etc. Have a compelling Catholic-forward story for the "Why ND?" and you go into the preferred pile. 82% of students at Notre Dame are Catholic. |

It is a Catholic school. |

PP here. I know, I'm Catholic. Just pointing out it's absurd to suggest that ND isn't "spiky" but, say, CMU is. The gigantic spike in the sky is touchdown Jesus https://www.uhnd.com/history/touchdown-jesus/ |
