Agree with most of this but Gtown is definitely not elite.

It's "elite" among rich Catholics and tons of wealthy foreign families.

It took the 13 most popular undergraduate rankings and used the averages to find an overall rank. I recommend looking at the original post on Reddit because it has a lot of cool data that goes with it to explain what's going on, but for those who just want a sneak peak of the results:

1. MIT
2. Stanford
3. Princeton
4. Harvard
5. Duke
5. Yale
7. Penn
8. Caltech
9. Columbia
9. Northwestern
11. Vanderbilt
12. Rice
13. Dartmouth
14. UChicago
15. Brown
16. Cornell
17. UMich
18. Johns Hopkins
19. WashU
20. Notre Dame

There are not 13 ranking lists that get sufficient traction and eyeballs for this to matter. They might as well have included a few of our personal rankings lists using criteria we developed!

Per the original Reddit post: "That's actually exactly the reason I included all 13, so that their methodologies balance out to find the schools that are excellent across the board. In a nutshell, the rankings like Forbes, Washington Monthly, and Money care more about which schools provide high social mobility and opportunity access for lower income students while minimizing debt, rankings like WSJ/THE, Degree Choices, and WalletHub care more about pure earning potential, student outcomes, and ROI, rankings like US News, College Raptor, and College Simply care more about the achievements of students entering the college, the resources of the college, and the reputation of the college, and rankings like Niche and College Consensus care more about the overall student experience beyond just academics, such as student satisfaction/happiness, food, campus life and amenities, etc. So, by finding which schools are the best through my aggregate ranking, we find which schools succeed in all of these manners that singular rankings such as US News or Forbes might undervalue or miss completely."

We all know the Washington Monthly ranking was pure dog shit and I haven’t even heard of two-thirds of the others. Niche is typically garbage as well.

What makes Washington Monthly dogshit? I personally think it's one of the best ranking systems out there. What do you disagree with in their methodology?

Nearly every single ranking is ridiculous but let’s start with UC Davis and BYU in the top 15 and National Louis (whatever that is) in the top 20.

So you just don't like where some schools are placed? You can say that for any ranking. You should find things you disagree with in the methodology, otherwise you're just going off the eyeball test of whatever schools you're conditioned to see be higher or lower. It's good to have ranking systems that care about economic mobility, low-income access, etc. which Washington Monthly does a great job at. BYU is a great school at an incredible cost, I'm glad to see it getting some love, even though I'm not crazy about Mormons.

I am quite confident none of these three schools belong in the top 20 of any ranking, particularly National Louis.

Fun Findings:

Using the data I obtained to make this ranking, I found some interesting datapoints and trends:

- Undisputed #1: MIT is the #1 college in the US! Incredibly, MIT was ranked as the #1 college in the country on a whopping 7 of the 13 publications!

- No Consensus T5: No school is a T5 in all 13 rankings. Stanford and Princeton are the closest, but they miss the T5 in exactly one publication each (Stanford is #9 on WalletHub, Princeton is #8 on WSJ/THE).

- Consensus T10: However, there are four schools that rank in the T10 in all 13 rankings: MIT, Stanford, Princeton, and Duke. Harvard and Yale are the next closest, both missing the T10 on two publications each.

- T5 Contenders: There are 13 schools that rank in the T5 in at least one ranking: MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, Duke, Yale, Penn, Caltech, Columbia, UChicago, Berkeley, Georgia Tech, and UF. However, there are only 7 schools that rank in the T5 in multiple rankings: MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Duke, and Caltech.

- T10 Contenders: There are 25 schools that rank in the T10 in at least one ranking: MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Duke, Penn, Caltech, Northwestern, Dartmouth, Columbia, Cornell, UChicago, Brown, Vanderbilt, Rice, Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame, UMich, UCLA, Berkeley, Georgia Tech, UF, UVA, and UNC. However, only 18 schools rank in the T10 in multiple rankings: MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Duke, Penn, Caltech, Northwestern, Dartmouth, Columbia, Cornell, UChicago, Brown, Rice, Johns Hopkins, Berkeley, and UMich.

- Ivies vs Non-Ivies: The Ivies have an average rank of 9 on this list, while the top eight non-Ivies (MIT, Stanford, Duke, Caltech, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Rice, and UChicago) have an average rank of 7.75, so the non-Ivies win by a hair!

- State Supremacy: To determine which states might have the best schools, I took the three highest ranked schools from each state and calculated their average rank. Of course, this was for fun and is far from a perfect measure as the ranking omits LACs and other specialized schools, and three schools from each state is a small sample size and does not reflect the depth of great universities some states might have. Only 13 states had at least three schools in the T75, and the results were:

California (Stanford, Caltech, UCLA) - 10.66

Massachusetts (MIT, Harvard, BC) - 12.33

Illinois (Northwestern, UChicago, UIUC) - 19.33

New York (Columbia, Cornell, NYU) - 22.66

North Carolina (Duke, UNC, Wake Forest) - 23.33

Pennsylvania (Penn, CMU, Lehigh) - 24.66

Maryland (Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, UMD) - 28.66

Texas (Rice, UT Austin, Texas A&M) - 32.33

Georgia (Emory, Georgia Tech, UGA) - 35.66

Virginia (UVA, W&M, Virginia Tech) - 38.33

Indiana (Notre Dame, Purdue, IU Bloomington) - 45

New Jersey (Princeton, Rutgers, Stevens Institute of Technology) - 45.33

Florida (UF, FSU, UMiami) - 50.66

- Regional Supremacy: To determine which of the four US regions have the best schools, I took the five highest ranked schools from each region and calculated their average rank. To determine which states fall within each of the regions, I used the US Census Bureau's interpretation of what the regions are. Just like with state supremacy, this was for fun and still an imperfect measure of school quality in each region.

Northeast (MIT, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Penn) - unsurprisingly

Midwest (Northwestern, UChicago, UMich, WashU, Notre Dame)

South (Duke, Vanderbilt, Rice, UNC, UF)

West (Stanford, Caltech, UCLA, Berkeley, USC)

- Mind the Gap: There are a few large gaps between spots in the ranking. The first major gap is between #5 (tied) Duke/Yale and #7 Penn. There are more big gaps between #23 Berkeley and #24 UVA, #28 (tied) Emory/USC and #30 Georgia Tech, #42 Tufts and #43 NYU, #52 (tied) CWRU/Texas A&M and #54 Villanova, and a final large gap between the #66 OSU (Ohio) and #67 UMiami.

Since when is Georgetown in Maryland?

From January of 1789 to July of 1790.

I need to invite you to my dinner parties.

Thanks. One could quibble with the end date. I chose the founding of the District as the passage of related legislation, although the precise points were determined a bit later and moved to accommodate the inclusion of Alexandria at the request of George Washington, with the legislation amended accordingly.

Since when is Georgetown in Maryland?

HA they probably didn't have enough relevant schools in DC so they stuffed Georgetown with Maryland... I wonder how Maryland would rank without its inclusion.

Georgetown doesn't play the USNEWs rankings games. You have to submit test scores and you have to submit every single one you have taken. They are not on the common app.

Columbia just got whistle blown by it's own faculty for lying to boost its WWNR rankings...which the majority of the schools do ---up their applicants so they appear to be harder to get into. When 95% of those Applicants never stood a chance. You won't get as any applicants when they have to submit their test scores. Period.

Michigan is a great school. For in-state students it could definitely be more worthwhile than Hopkins. For serious engineering and business outside of BME and healthcare management, Michigan destroys Hopkins.

Maybe but MIT is by far the most intimidating and impressive university we ever visited and we visited dozens and dozens.

- T5 Contenders: There are 13 schools that rank in the T5 in at least one ranking: MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, Duke, Yale, Penn, Caltech, Columbia, UChicago, Berkeley, Georgia Tech, and UF. However, there are only 7 schools that rank in the T5 in multiple rankings: MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Duke, and Caltech.

- T10 Contenders: There are 25 schools that rank in the T10 in at least one ranking: MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Duke, Penn, Caltech, Northwestern, Dartmouth, Columbia, Cornell, UChicago, Brown, Vanderbilt, Rice, Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame, UMich, UCLA, Berkeley, Georgia Tech, UF, UVA, and UNC. However, only 18 schools rank in the T10 in multiple rankings: MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Duke, Penn, Caltech, Northwestern, Dartmouth, Columbia, Cornell, UChicago, Brown, Rice, Johns Hopkins, Berkeley, and UMich.

- Ivies vs Non-Ivies: The Ivies have an average rank of 9 on this list, while the top eight non-Ivies (MIT, Stanford, Duke, Caltech, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Rice, and UChicago) have an average rank of 7.75, so the non-Ivies win by a hair!

- State Supremacy: To determine which states might have the best schools, I took the three highest ranked schools from each state and calculated their average rank. Of course, this was for fun and is far from a perfect measure as the ranking omits LACs and other specialized schools, and three schools from each state is a small sample size and does not reflect the depth of great universities some states might have. Only 13 states had at least three schools in the T75, and the results were:

California (Stanford, Caltech, UCLA) - 10.66

Massachusetts (MIT, Harvard, BC) - 12.33

Illinois (Northwestern, UChicago, UIUC) - 19.33

New York (Columbia, Cornell, NYU) - 22.66

North Carolina (Duke, UNC, Wake Forest) - 23.33

Pennsylvania (Penn, CMU, Lehigh) - 24.66

Maryland (Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, UMD) - 28.66

Texas (Rice, UT Austin, Texas A&M) - 32.33

Georgia (Emory, Georgia Tech, UGA) - 35.66

Virginia (UVA, W&M, Virginia Tech) - 38.33

Indiana (Notre Dame, Purdue, IU Bloomington) - 45

New Jersey (Princeton, Rutgers, Stevens Institute of Technology) - 45.33

Florida (UF, FSU, UMiami) - 50.66

- Regional Supremacy: To determine which of the four US regions have the best schools, I took the five highest ranked schools from each region and calculated their average rank. To determine which states fall within each of the regions, I used the US Census Bureau's interpretation of what the regions are. Just like with state supremacy, this was for fun and still an imperfect measure of school quality in each region.

Northeast (MIT, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Penn) - unsurprisingly

Midwest (Northwestern, UChicago, UMich, WashU, Notre Dame)

South (Duke, Vanderbilt, Rice, UNC, UF)

West (Stanford, Caltech, UCLA, Berkeley, USC)

- Mind the Gap: There are a few large gaps between spots in the ranking. The first major gap is between #5 (tied) Duke/Yale and #7 Penn. There are more big gaps between #23 Berkeley and #24 UVA, #28 (tied) Emory/USC and #30 Georgia Tech, #42 Tufts and #43 NYU, #52 (tied) CWRU/Texas A&M and #54 Villanova, and a final large gap between the #66 OSU (Ohio) and #67 UMiami.

Since when is Georgetown in Maryland?

HA they probably didn't have enough relevant schools in DC so they stuffed Georgetown with Maryland... I wonder how Maryland would rank without its inclusion.

Georgetown doesn't play the USNEWs rankings games. You have to submit test scores and you have to submit every single one you have taken. They are not on the common app.

Columbia just got whistle blown by it's own faculty for lying to boost its WWNR rankings...which the majority of the schools do ---up their applicants so they appear to be harder to get into. When 95% of those Applicants never stood a chance. You won't get as any applicants when they have to submit their test scores. Period.

That shouldn't effect its placement on the ranking. Try again.

It took the 13 most popular undergraduate rankings and used the averages to find an overall rank. I recommend looking at the original post on Reddit because it has a lot of cool data that goes with it to explain what's going on, but for those who just want a sneak peak of the results:

1. MIT
2. Stanford
3. Princeton
4. Harvard
5. Duke
5. Yale
7. Penn
8. Caltech
9. Columbia
9. Northwestern
11. Vanderbilt
12. Rice
13. Dartmouth
14. UChicago
15. Brown
16. Cornell
17. UMich
18. Johns Hopkins
19. WashU
20. Notre Dame

This affirms the widely held notion that Hopkins is overrated on the latest US News ranking list.

This kind of aggregate ranking has its own flaws (for example, there are more than several rankings included in the aggregate that are not even remotely credible).

JFC. In what world is U Mich higher than Hopkins? lmaof

Michigan is a great school. For in-state students it could definitely be more worthwhile than Hopkins. For serious engineering and business outside of BME and healthcare management, Michigan destroys Hopkins.

UpHopkins has a number of engineering programs ranked in the top 20 besides its number 1 ranked bme program.

So what? Most of Michigan’s are top 5-10.
