[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anybody else thinks USNWR messes with the weights every year to get a respectable-but-not-too-shocking shakeup that's "newsworthy"? Having built indices myself, I know that messing with the weights is really easy to do, even as you publish the indicators that go into your index. Who knows, maybe they publish an unchanging set of weights too, although I don't respect this enough to investigate (even though DC's college is at #5 this year).[/quote] For sure! It'd be interesting to see the formulas from the last decade or so put side by side. I bet they tweak things just enough to shuffle the order.[/quote]
