[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh, Harvey Mudd didn’t even make the cut so whoever came up with this list took things personally. [/quote]
What? How did they manage to overlook Harvey Mudd? It's a top engineering school in the country. They ranked the other Claremont Colleges. Pomona College is #24. Claremont McKenna is #35. Scripps College is #66. Pitzer College is #80.

That's one hell of a miss. Somewhat undermines these rankings.[/quote]

They didn’t miss. It was intentional, meaning somethings wrong with the methodology. Also,

82 Mich State 
83 Santa Clara 
83 Texas A&M 
83 Naval Academy

Who would place Mich State, Santa Claus, and Texas A &M above the US Naval Academy? [/quote]

Well, the WSJ ranking explains their methodology and you can look at why the US Naval Academy (or any school) is ranked lower. They have lower outcomes, lower student engagement, and a worse environment, according to WSJ. The biggest factor is outcomes, so it seems US Naval grads probably earn lower salaries than grads from the other schools. BTW, Santa Clara and A&M are not "ABOVE" the naval academy. Did you forget how to read numbers?[/quote]
