[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are indeed many rankings, there is, however, only one ranking that drives college apps an estimated 1% per ranking spot. Colleges know what that ranking is and are in tune with components of the composite ranking. USNEWS matters, the other rankings do not. Is that "fair," "right" or "stupid?" Who knows? But it is the current reality.[/quote] Maybe in the US, but higher education has become a global commodity and the international rankings now matter a lot. They are quite different from US News which is designed to see how much schools approximate Harvard. Caltech is number 1 worldwide. http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2013-14/world-ranking [/quote]
