[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saw this and thought it was interesting. Basically someone took the average ranking of each college from these sources and created a composite rank for each school relative to all the other schools. It was noted schools like Georgetown and Duke were underranked by US News and schools like UChicago and JHU were overranked. Some of these rankings included focus more on academics and some more on ROI, so with a composite I believe the idea was to see which schools excel in all the important metrics for undergrad.

Pretty interesting that only 5 schools maintained their spot compared to US News. MIT at #4, Penn at #7, Dartmouth at #12, and Cornell at #17, and UVA at #25. It looks like US News is underrating Duke, Vanderbilt, Columbia, Georgetown, UCLA, UMich, UNC, and UCSD while it's overrating Yale, JHU, UChicago, WUSTL, Brown, Berkeley, CMU, and Emory[/quote]
You guys make up narratives to support your biases. These rankings have different criteria and different methodology, combining them makes little sense as some of them are not even measuring academics. Schools with great academics that send a lot of there students to grad school will have poor ROI lowering them on this list. See John's Hopkins,  UChicago, and Emory as prime examples. On the ROi rankings they rank low. On the academic rankings they are consistent across the board.[/quote]

Many of them measure academics, many of them measure ROI as well, the schools that rose to the top have great academics and provide a good ROI. Seems worthwhile since college is expensive. Also Johns Hopkins, UChicago, and Emory don't send more to grad school than other places necessarily. They just don't have as good outcomes for whatever reason.

Feeder schools to what exactly. This doesn't specify. Another crap list. And no
These schools have just as good of ROI but it takes a few years for theor students to get there as they are in grad school.....
