[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I don't care about the aggregated methodology rankings.  Am I missing something bc isn't it some dude on reddit? [b]If anything, it makes more sense to pay attention to the list that prioritizes what matters to your family (Ie. cost is a factor, look at lists about value). [/b]

I look at USNWR generally to see where schools fall but a school moving up or down a few spots isn't going to change where my kid applies.  Nor is it going to make me love my alma mater more or less or think differently about my experience there.

In fact, my senior was joking that he hoped his school fell a few spots in the rankings so perhaps fewer kids would apply. :)[/quote]

+1 I never understand why people get so tied up about small variations in rank which can swing wildly depending on how one weights different factors. There are so many colleges in the country, I figure just being in the top 100 generally = here are some solid colleges. For the most part, you get out of college what you put into it.[/quote]
