[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s about Pell grants. How important are Pell grants to you in terms of ranking a college or university?

Next year all these type of things are going away. So I guess the ranking will radically change again.[/quote]

That is why I don't really care about most rankings.  Glad schools support Pell grants and all, but it doesn't impact the quality of education for my student.  If anything, I care about class sizes and that is normally smaller in private U, which went down in rankings.

Then again, I'm smart enough to recognize this and don't really give a Sh$t about the rankings.  
Similarly, I'm smart enough to know that the USNWR engineering rankings is just a ranking by other universities, so no strong data points, and obviously MIT/CalTech will do well---eveyrone had heard about them.  and yes the smaller lesser known great STEM schools might not be ranked at all by someone who has not heard of them.  Doesn't make them any less of a school
