[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USNews changed the methodology to such a degree to makes these rankings almost useless. Thinks like class size or the academic qualifications of instructors no longer matter. At all. What really matters are the graduation rates of Pelll Grant recipients. Maybe that matters to you. But for most families, it's not something they're looking at when determining the quality of a university.

So a large state like California with a lot of income disparity in their public colleges is going to do great in these measurements..All the UCs - with the exception of Merced - are now top 35 schools. UC Irvine is ranked higher than NYU and Tufts. Rutgers is a top 40 school now. And Wake Forest drops nearly 20 spots to 47.

USNews is no longer measuring the academic quality of schools, but their perceived "social good." It such be read as such.

I have little doubt that the qualifications of the faculty at the UC schools, Rutgers, etc are every bit as good and probably better than those at schools like Wake.  [/quote]
