[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be frank, people really only care about $$ and [b]prestige [/b]here (and a lot of places). Couldn't a ranking system do a good job combining these? Unfortunately, none of those rankings really does it. If you could pull it off in a semi-credible way, you'd have amazing clickbait![/quote] I think all you'd have to do for this is rank by acceptance rate. That shows how hard a school is to get into which generally maps to how well known and desirable it is considered. Doesn't mean anything about whether or not the education at any of those is better than any place else.[/quote] Sadly that was gamed far too easily decades years ago.[/quote] Regardless, the schools considered most prestigious generally have the lowest acceptance rates. It may not mean much beyond that top tier but for people who only care about prestige, that's where to start. [/quote]
