[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would love to see some weight given to student satisfaction after graduation. This is an important metric that most here simply brush aside….[/quote]

Not sure the data for this exists. US News would have to either do an expensive large scale survey or find some group that surveys grads (is there one?).[/quote]

This is one of the issues. DS graduated from a not to be named ivy this year. His student satisfaction rating would have been a 20/100. Simply pretending this shouldn’t be included in the rankings only gives more power to universities to reduce the focus on student satisfaction.

This is really a direct measure of teaching quality. They reflect how students actually experience teaching, feedback, and academic support, areas that league tables can’t capture from research metrics or entry standards alone. High satisfaction often correlates with better student–staff interaction, effective assessment methods, and supportive academic culture. Satisfied students are more likely to engage fully, persist through challenges, and achieve higher grades and employability outcomes. 
Many rankings lean heavily on research power. Student surveys rebalance the picture toward undergraduate experience, which matters more for most applicants.[/quote]
This is an anonymous thread. Name the Ivy.[/quote]
