[quote=Anonymous]This list may be "objective"?? but it is also clearly not very useful. Note that the rankings essentially completely reshuffle every year. One school goes from 39->3, 36->11, 3->12, 49->15, 56->2, etc. I didn't calculate, but the average change seems to be by 10 places or so on the list. I don't believe that the student body in these places changes that much from year to year, since in reality, only 25% of it should, and if you include alumni, things should change less than that. So this list is just statistical noise and garbage. How amazing people love ranks. My own school is ranked very highly here, I have no dog in this fight, although I did not go to it for the rankings (of any kind, except in my own major). [/quote]
