[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My determination of a ranking's quality is solely based above whether my alma mater is above its rival or not. On this ranking, the rival is ranked higher; thus, it is a bad ranking.[/quote]

I long ago stopped caring about my alma mater's ranking. I just look at my kids schools. Both are top 15 in this ranking. So obviously this is the best ranking.

But any list that has a giant state school like UCLA as well as Williams in the top 20 is of limited usefulness to people. I do believe liberal arts colleges should be put in a different pile. Will give US News that. It's better to separate them.

Other quibble is that I do not share the consensus view that the UCs are awesome for undergrad. Would not rank so high by any metric that is important to the undergrad experience. And then there are a few odd rankings - BYU over Pomona and Georgia Tech down in the mid-30s. That seems like a hiccup to me, but maybe I'm missing something.

Otherwise, it seems reasonable.    [/quote]
Georgia Tech is mid 30s on USnews and other rankings. [/quote]
