Apparently only 10% of students look at a specific rank while searching for colleges and the influence of US News & rankings in general is waning. Is college admissions culture shifting to prioritizing fit above rank because of admissions difficulty, shifting methodologies, etc.?[/quote]

"...What did we find? Most students report considering some sources of rankings (around 6 in 10)...."

6 in 10 is 60%. Not 10%

And...they like Niche more. Great rankings there.

Nice try.[/quote]

+1. And over 80% of high scorers (ACT 30+ and SAT 1400+). The 10% is only for using the rankings to identify a specific rank, and even then the number is higher for those using it to find a general range (eg, T20).

Note the percent consulting rankings is higher for those attending private high school and looking at private colleges, which probably helps to explain the rankings rage here.[/quote]
