[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aspects of the top US News Top 25 ranking don’t pass the smell test IMHO.

Does anybody really think University of Chicago is better than Stanford? I think US News is miffed at Stanford for refusing to release acceptance data. Resistance is futile!

Johns Hopkins and Northwestern ahead of Cal Tech? In what world?

Wash U, Georgetown and Emory ahead of Carnegie Mellon? What am I missing here.

T[b]he WSJ/THE rankings a[/b]re based more on academics and less on social mobility – this is their Top 30 (which includes top SLACs):

1 Harvard University 
2 Massachusetts Institute of Technology
3 Yale University 
4 Columbia University 
 5 California Institute of Technology 
 6 Stanford University 
 7 Brown University 
 7 Duke University
9 Princeton University 
 10 University of Pennsylvania 
 11 Cornell University 
 12 Dartmouth College 
 13 Northwestern University 
 14 University of Chicago 
 14 Rice University 
 16 Carnegie Mellon University 
 17 University of Southern California 
 18 Washington University in St Louis 
 19 Vanderbilt University 
 20 Emory University 
 21 Johns Hopkins University 
 22 Amherst College 
 23 Williams College

 25 University of California, Los Angeles 
 26 University of Notre Dame 
 27 New York University 
 28 University of Michigan-Ann Arbor 
 29 Wellesley College 
 30 Georgetown University

No one in the field of college admissions pays any attention to the WSJ ratings.  This is only its third year.  They are late to the gravy train of making money off these rankings.[/quote]
