| What an amazing list of America's educational institutions. I love seeing them laid out like this. Thrilled if my kid gets into one of them this year. |

| Seems odd to me too. A notable omission in my book was Georgia Tech. University of Miami, but not Georgia Tech? No Maryland? |

| It made this Tar Heel smile to see UNC over UCB. But c’mon... maybe decades ago that would be the case, but now I’d say UNC should be much lower than UCB. Sad but true. |

| Hopkins is clearly higher than it should be and Brown should probably trade places with Princeton, but this is overall better than USNWR. |

| Seems odd that William and Mary, Washington and Lee and yes, GT are missing. Also odd to include Boston University and omit Northeastern with co-ops. |

| Completely different methodology than US News, with student test scores and grades, admit rates and yields not included. The rankings are based on resources (like endowment), student engagement (by survey), outcomes (graduate salaries) and environment (measure of diversity). So naturally the wealthiest schools rise to the top. The pecking order we are used to based on selectivity gets shaken up here, after the top cluster at least. |
