[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thankfully, no. US News shares a great deal of information beyond the rankings which form the basis for reasonable comparison among hundreds of colleges and universities. US News provides both objective & subjective information about schools. How one uses or misuses that information is an individual matter.[/quote] "How one uses or misuses that information is an individual matter." The problem with this is that the rankings have been the biggest contributor to creating an environment in which kids genuinely believe there are absolutes about which colleges are better than others. This has led to epic amounts of anxiety about having to be perfect in everything they do so they don't jeopardize any opportunities. To say this is the fault of each individual teen is to expect them to realize something they're not emotionally or intellectually experienced enough to understand.[/quote]
