[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middlebury was ranked 4th in US News as recently as 2018. Would bet pretty much anything the decline was due to a change in US News' scoring methodology. Maybe something of substance also changed, but to drop so far so fast usually means the scoring system has changed. https://www.middleburycampus.com/article/2024/10/middlebury-falls-to-19th-in-u-s-news-world-report-ranking[/quote] The biggest drop came in how financial resources are calculated, ranked, and incorporated into overall rank. Now US News only count finances that go towards academics. Back then they included finances that went things like sports. Their faculty to student ratio also dropped. It is true that US News puts more weight on Pell grant grad rates now than then, but that’s about a 5% difference, and nationwide about 1/3 of students get Pell grants (pre Trump anyway.)[/quote]
