Harvey Mudd College
Claremont, CA #25 in National Liberal Arts Colleges (tie) Crazy. |

Indeed. Excellent example that the rankings often don't make sense. |

| Columbia is so overrated |

Before Trump's endorsement, it was tied for 3rd with MIT and Yale. Columbia got a bump after Trump described it as a 'disgraceful institution.' My kind of school. |

US News has to change the list a lot every year. Otherwise people has no interests in the latest ranking and its business will suffer.
The changes in the ranking have more to do with the nature of USW business model than the academy of these colleges. |

Crazy how? |

| The ranking is a total joke. UChicago tied with Stanford? Princeton's yield is the worst among T5, and Columbia is not in T5. |

Does anyone actually know what the rankings were in 2020 as opposed to 2021? Find a better use of your time if so. |

By any standard, Mudd comes out on top or near the top of any engineering school evaluation. I have no skin in the game, did not go there, and have no kids there. But for aspiring engineers, I'd rank it somewhere near MIT. |

Princeton NJ is a sleepy town. Great school but the location is dull. |

Columbia has always been T4 as long as I remember. Ivy = IV = Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia. |

+1 Mudd is the college with no grad school equivalent to MIT. Hard to get into. Infamously hard to survive. And I’ve never had a kid interested in it either. But, it’s impressive. |

| Two things stood out to me in the Liberal Arts section. Hamilton was ranked in the top 10 and Harvey Mudd was ranked in the twenties. The Harvey Mudd ranking is crazy as someone else pointed out. Their students would blow out the water the students at Colorado College, the school with the same ranking. |
