[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Reddit post from yesterday was definitely better: https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comment...5_college_ranking_aggregating/

Took unbiased data averages and factored in multiple methodologies to get a nice overall view of what colleges are best. Probably puts Hopkins and Chicago in more realistic places, and shows how underrated UMich is.

1. MIT
2. Stanford
3. Princeton
4. Harvard
5. Duke
5. Yale
7. Penn
8. Caltech
9. Columbia
9. Northwestern
11. Vanderbilt
12. Rice
13. Dartmouth
14. UChicago
15. Brown
16. Cornell
17. UMich
18. Johns Hopkins
19. WashU
20. Notre Dame[/quote]

This is a very reasonable list, except I am not sure about Columbia now.[/quote]

I agree with the above listing as well. Duke is a bit too high, but other than that it seems to make the most sense. [/quote]

The ranking seems based purely on numbers, the result is just the average of the ranking. I ran the numbers for Duke and Yale myself just out of curiosity and they actually are an exact tie: average rating of 7.538 across the 13 rankings, and expectedly they show up as a tie on the overall ranking. The individual data is on the original Reddit post by the way: https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/xc0v5x/the_2023_supreme_t75_college_ranking_aggregating/. Maybe US News is sleeping on Duke, Columbia, Michigan, Georgia Tech, etc. while giving too much to UChicago, JHU, Emory, etc.[/quote]

Using 13 rankings? You might as well just come up with your own list too and take a random one from a college counselor with different methodology and use 15 for all the actual attention several of those rankings lists mentioned get. [/quote]
