[quote=Anonymous]For those who care (and I understand that some do not :) ), The Wall Street Journal and THE (Times Higher Education) have released a new college ranking that may be the first real threat to the dominant USNEWS rankings. Like the US NEWS rankings the WSJ/THE rankings take numerous facts into account – like USNEWS . they detail their methodology and weighting of factors. The biggest difference I note is that WSJ/THE places greater emphasis on student satisfaction/outcomes, whilst USNEWS emphasizes peer opinion. A bit like emphasizing customer satisfaction rather than industry reputation (a s a consumer I find customer satisfaction more important than what suppliers think of one another).
The results aren’t that much difference, but do seem to be more aligned with my subjective experience and impressions:

#1 Stanford University 92/100
#2 Massachusetts Institute of Technology 91.3/100
#3 Columbia University 90.9/100
#4 University of Pennsylvania 90.8/100
#5 Yale University 90.4/100
#6 Harvard University 90.3/100
#7 Duke University 90/100
#8 Princeton University 89.6/100
#9 Cornell University 89.1/100
#10 California Institute of Technology 89/100
#11 John Hopkins University 88.7/100
#11 Washington University of St. Louis 88.7/100
#13 University of Chicago 88.4/100
#13 Northwestern University 88.4/100
#15 University of Southern California 88.3/100
#16 Dartmouth College 88.1/100
#17 Emory University 87.9/100
#18 Rice University 87.2/100
#19 Carnegie Mellon University 87.1/100
#20 Brown University 87/100
#21 Vanderbilt University 86.7/100
#22 Williams College 84.5/100
#23 Amherst College 84.5/100
#24 University of Michigan-Ann Arbor 83.8/100
#25 University of Notre Dame 83.6/100

BTW - WSJ/THE is aiming squarely at USNEWS with a “free” comparison of methodologies.
