[quote=Anonymous]There is some correlation because 25% of the survey draws from peer assessment, of which 2/3 comes from college administrators and 1/3 comes from high school counselors. But the actual ranking of prestige is different from the US News list: https://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/college-rankings-blog/2013/02/28/which-universities-are-ranked-highest-by-college-officials As you can see, there are a lot of public schools in here which do poorly on the overall rank. US New's methodology inherently favors schools with a ton of money. Princeton ranks #1 because it has the highest endowment per student of any college in the country and therefore can make its class sizes small/faculty ratios low/etc. Public schools don't anywhere near the same financial resources for undergraduates.[/quote]
