Some of these schools are not like the others if you look at the actual drops:

Dartmouth: 12 to 15
Emory: 22 to 24
BC: 36 to 37
Case: 44 to 51
Northeastern: 44 to 54
Tulane: 44 to 63
W&M: 41 to 54
Wake: 29 to 46
Tufts: 32 to 37

Wish someone would explain why Dartmouth, Emory, BC...even Tufts really didn't drop much at all, while the others dropped more precipitously.

This was your list BTW.

When they rolled out the new methodology Dartmouth had a big drop from 12 to 18. UCLA and Berkeley went from 20 and 22 to tied at 15 that year.

And now they are back to 15...what's your point? Didn't seem like it took them much to come back three slots.

You seem to be arguing that something other than methodology changed when that isn't the case.

No...just pointing out that it doesn't matter they went to 18...they are now 15. Again, what's your point?

Seriously. Someone is very jealous of someone else's kid who is attending WF.
Give it a rest. Your kid can transfer in.

That the methodology shift caused huge changes for many schools. What's yours?

Except it didn't...it caused huge changes for exactly 4 or 5 schools...that's it.

Are you joking? At least 50 schools of note and hundreds that are pretty much irrelevant saw some sort of change. UC Merced, VA Tech saw huge jumps due to economic diversity being weighted more.

Public schools like VT are on the rise. Sorry your rich kid couldn't get into VT. So now they have to go to Tulane. Whoops.

But that didn't impact most private schools...just 4 or 5.

Somehow all the other top privates remained top privates.

I bet US News fiddles with the rankings to make sure HYPSM are always near the top.

Some rankings rely more on spending than class size...that's the reason why some rose more than others.

US News rank is not very useful. Dartmouth is currently tied with UCLA but those schools have almost nothing in common.

+1 The new methodology shows that public schools are truly better. No one cares about the past. Sorry Wake Forest, Rutgers is better than you! Sorry you were lied to before.

This is getting ridiculous...a school moves around 3-5 slots that's a large change in the rankings?

So, now you are trying to claim that Johns Hopkins and Duke moved up because they did something radically different than Cornell or Columbia (BTW, Columbia had tanked because they had lied on their data they reported to USNews...and now has moved back up)...which for some reason acted differently than Princeton or Yale?

Are you on drugs or something? Columbia rose in the rankings. 6 spots with the methodology change. Cornell rose 5 spots. WashU dropped 10 spots, Tufts dropped 8 spots (still hasn't recovered). NYU -10 spots Rochester -10 spots.

WashU will likely fall out of the t25 at this rate. Vanderbilt too. Will never forget Vanderbilt's president whining about their huge drop publicly in a press release. So embarrassing!!!!!!!
