[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More educated parents and students aren't blindly following US News rankings any more.  Since their last release was so heavily mocked and with availability of information about a school's outcomes and strength of majors and strength of students academic achievements, US News is a much more minor role player now than in the past.

[b]Parents look at the cost of the school, the name brand of the school, the SAT averages of the school, the acceptance rate of the school and the outcomes of the school a lot more than some outdated magazine.[/b]

This statement is silly...in other words if they just look at the USNews list they will be provided the same information which will tell you the cost, the thresholds for receiving need aid, the name of the school (and it's name brand is often associated with its ranking), the SAT averages (though you have to dig more to determine what %age are submitting...at least for the schools that are not back to test required), the acceptance rate (maybe yield rate too)...and the outcomes are also in the rankings.[/quote]
