[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adding more insult to injury, if you’re full pay at some of these privates, your payback period is far longer than calculated in these rankings. That means your school is even lower in your “personal” rankings. [/quote]

Exactly.  I'm interested in schools which offer the most bang for my buck, and are also highly ranked in other areas.  So if you compare the top 50-100 (or so) schools on BOTH lists, that should give you a very good idea of which are truly excellent.

Exactly...I pointed out earlier, as well, that there are 9 schools that are top 20 on both WSJ and USNWR. These schools clearly have something going for them to be ranked high on both lists. Agree that finding top 50 schools that overlap is probably a good thing to look at...but I don't have the energy to go through that exercise.

Princeton
Stanford
Yale
MIT
Harvard
Berkeley
Penn
Columbia
Notre Dame[/quote]

Might as well add the schools that are top 20 on WSJ and USNWR’s Liberal Arts Colleges:

Claremont McKenna 
Davidson
Harvey Mudd

These small lists of universities and colleges seem like a good place to focus one’s energies. Maybe expand it to the overlap of top 50 of both rankings. [/quote]
