Why would anyone need a link? The numbers are literally there. The schools with the highest average rank compared to the other schools ended up higher - that’s how comparative rankings work. Should you really be calling people twits if you can’t read data in a table?

Oh, I don't know. I generally like to know whose work I'm looking at, what source it's from, etc. But you do you.

? The sources are literally there, look at the top row, it shows how each school was ranked from each publication and shows the combined rank from all the publications. Again, I’m not sure if you should be calling people twits with your reading comprehension.

This is great, thank you for sharing OP. I was always confused how Emory ranks so high in US News so this provides some helpful context. A little surprised by how much Brown tumbled, but honestly I can't think of a single department where Brown is a true leader/at the top of the heap. It might just have a ton of help from its ivy league branding?

it's overrated even at 30

Duke boosta!

It just goes to show how bad many of these faux rankings are.

vanderbilt t10 now?! I’m actually surprised at how consistent it ranks — kind of shows it’s no fluke as a top ug school

+1 Georgetown could easily drop its acceptance rate from 12% to below 10% by joining the Common App and going test optional like most of the other top schools.

Won't happen, so don't wait for it.

Of course it won't, and that's great. But those who need to know are aware that Georgetown is very selective.

Degree choices and Washington monthly are buzarre additions

Just ask your self if you were admitted to both Duke and Harvard, which one would you pick regardless of major? Is there really any exception in the answer? That tells you this ranking is worthless.

duke is a great school and is ranked t5 in multiple of these publications and deservedly so, us News is definitely underranking duke. also columbia is much closer to where it should be here vs us News punishing it unreasonably. i agree misreporting data should be punished but we all know columbia is better than being the 18th best school

This was already talked about last fall. The poster is not giving credit to the Reddit user who created the list.

I'm sorry your child was rejected from Georgetown. Plenty of other great schools out there though!

Well, then you And USNWR agree!

UMich ftw, its departments are top notch all around. I sincerely think it’s one of the best undergrad experiences anyone can get

Overall though this makes sense so thx for sharing. Always viewed Stanford, MIT, Princeton, Duke, Harvard, Yale, Penn, Caltech as essentially the “shoe-in” Top 10 schools. Columbia too but once they recover from their scandals. It’s nice to see public schools getting more love here too, lord knows they’re the lifeblood of our college system. Wish the list was longer!!

+1 saying Georgetown doesn't even deserve to be in the top 30 is pretty ridiculous, clearly PP has a bone to pick with Gtown
