[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More accurate than US News. I'm safely assuming WSJ doesn't juke and social engineer their ranking with pointless diversity metrics.[/quote]

Much more accurate than USNWR. Columbia is #16 in the WSJ rather than highly inaccurate #2 in USNWR.[/quote]

Relying on UK foreigners to rank US schools is like Americans ranking UK schools. This is on the same level as an American hick ranking oxford at #16 using some weird methodology. [/quote]

Can't really take this ranking seriously when Princeton's engagement ranking is ranked 400+

[b]According to WSJ/THE, the engagement metric is "drawn mostly from a student survey and with a 20% weight, examines views on things like teaching and interactions with faculty and other students"
[/b]
Everyone knows Princeton has probably one of the best undergraduate teaching experience of all major universities.

Similarly, Williams and Amherst are also ranked 400+ while they literally are perceived by many as among the best in terms of small class sizes and faculty engagement. No one should take this ranking seriously except for maybe the Columbia bashers who have been spamming every single thread whenever the school gets a mention. Can we stop talking about Columbia just for one moment and focus on how inaccurate the rankings really are?

How do schools like Michigan or USC with 20,000+ undergraduates get ranked #4 in terms of student-to-faculty engagement? Just about every LAC is ranked in the hundreds, which is just so, so wrong.

+1. My thoughts exactly. Except for a few twisted individuals who derive satisfaction from putting down other schools, this is a really useless list. They can’t even get the most important metric right.[/quote]
