[quote=Anonymous]Last year’s rankings had some quirks, but they at least had some basis in reality and it did seem to be more of an “output”-based ranking of student outcomes as opposed to “input”-based on student GPAs/test scores. They changed their methodology so much this year that it has insane swings in the year-over-year rankings and simply nonsensical if the idea is to rank the “best” colleges. It’s sad - I thought the WSJ had been a fair alternative to the US News rankings for the past few years, but they seemed to want shock value this year with outcomes like ranking 6 Cal State schools above UCLA. For whatever reason, the WSJ methodology this year loves the Cal State schools even more than the US News loves the UC schools. That’s all well and good, but a ranking isn’t trustworthy with such insane swings from year-to-year.[/quote]
