[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only something like 11% of the US News rank is based on social mobility. But it’s a good thing if students prioritize fit above rank![/quote] The single biggest factor is “peer review” which is completely a subjective measure. The methodology is also incredibly suspect as it relies on voluntary responses. And even of those that respond, how much do you honestly think the provost of Arizona state knows about SUNY Binghampton? It’s almost entirely based based on prior years rankings. If you rely materially on rankings in choosing where to apply and attend, I pity you. [/quote]
