[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t make sense because each ranking system prioritizes different things. If you care most about earning potential, look at Forbes; if you qualify for aid and care most about “best value,” look at Money, etc. US News puts a lot of weight on entering student stats and peer reputation, WSJ lets you tinker with the weighting so you can customize the list to whatever you care about (diversity, outcomes, etc.)[/quote] Agreed each ranking prioritizes different things, having the combined ranking is interesting for getting a general sense of which schools check all the boxes. Correct me if I’m wrong, but all the schools at the top of the combined list have great programs and students in most fields. Stanford at #1 reflects the shift towards technology, but they excel across the board.[/quote]
