[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saw this on Reddit, thoughts? https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/xc0v5x/the_2023_supreme_t75_college_ranking_aggregating/

It took the 13 most popular undergraduate rankings and used the averages to find an overall rank. I recommend looking at the original post on Reddit because it has a lot of cool data that goes with it to explain what's going on, but for those who just want a sneak peak of the results:

1. MIT
2. Stanford
3. Princeton
4. Harvard
5. Duke
5. Yale
7. Penn
8. Caltech
9. Columbia
9. Northwestern
11. Vanderbilt
12. Rice
13. Dartmouth
14. UChicago
15. Brown
16. Cornell
17. UMich
18. Johns Hopkins
19. WashU
20. Notre Dame[/quote]

There are not 13 ranking lists that get sufficient traction and eyeballs for this to matter. They might as well have included a few of our personal rankings lists using criteria we developed![/quote]

Per the original Reddit post: "That's actually exactly the reason I included all 13, so that their methodologies balance out to find the schools that are excellent across the board. In a nutshell, the rankings like Forbes, Washington Monthly, and Money care more about which schools provide high social mobility and opportunity access for lower income students while minimizing debt, rankings like WSJ/THE, Degree Choices, and WalletHub care more about pure earning potential, student outcomes, and ROI, rankings like US News, College Raptor, and College Simply care more about the achievements of students entering the college, the resources of the college, and the reputation of the college, and rankings like Niche and College Consensus care more about the overall student experience beyond just academics, such as student satisfaction/happiness, food, campus life and amenities, etc. So, by finding which schools are the best through my aggregate ranking, we find which schools succeed in all of these manners that singular rankings such as US News or Forbes might undervalue or miss completely."[/quote]

We all know the Washington Monthly ranking was pure dog shit and I haven’t even heard of two-thirds of the others.  Niche is typically garbage as well.

What makes Washington Monthly dogshit? I personally think it's one of the best ranking systems out there. What do you disagree with in their methodology?[/quote]

Nearly every single ranking is ridiculous but let’s start with UC Davis and BYU in the top 15 and National Louis (whatever that is) in the top 20.[/quote]
