[quote=Anonymous]I did my own ranking of colleges using criteria that make more sense to me than those that USNWR uses: class sizes, total number of classes offered, happiness of students with their faculty and the school in general, and the diversity of the student body and the faculty. I included all schools on the National Universities list and the National Liberal Arts list that have a median SAT score in the 95th percentile (1360) or above. Macalester came in 13th place on this list (Carleton is #8), and the only National University that's ahead of it is Vanderbilt at #9 (Northwestern is #14). If you look at Princeton Review, which is where I got the happiness numbers, students at Macalester are very happy. Also, anecdotally, I had a student of mine who was close to the top of her class and won our school's award for best all-around student who went to Macalester and loved it. The cold is an issue, but other than that it sounds pretty awesome.[/quote]
