[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the academic ranking based entirely on academics .  Looks about right to me.  Not subjective at all  , just the facts with no points for favoritism or feelings.[/quote]

Everyone has a favorite non-USNEWS ranking, but USNEWS is the only ranking that matters to schools. USNEWS has driven much of the improvement in undergraduate education, so we should embrace their work. [/quote]

The 2015 rankings come out September 9.  DD and friends planning a get together to check college tour plans against updated rankings. [/quote]

You do realize that for many school, the rankings change year to year, right?[/quote]

I suppose that's the point - note the trends that indicate future ranking.  Just two weeks until the 2015 rankings are out.[/quote]

The trends are somewhat more predictable for undergrad, but much less so for law school, say.  It's all irrelevant for undergrad anyway, once one gets beyond HYP and a few others.  And everyone already knows the five or so best state schools.[/quote]
