[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of this is based on hard academic merit.  It's social factors and diversity and first gen and holistic measures.

Only a school that requires all test scores (not test optional), gpa, course rigor and known for quality education should be in the top 10.

It's no longer a purely 'academic' list.[/quote]

It's not obvious that a school should be ranked higher because those attending had higher SAT scores and grades in High School. Say you split Princeton (#1 in the current ranking) in half (facilities and professors teaching 50/50) and then put 1000 students in half A and 1000 in half B. If those in Half A has SATs of 1500+ and those in half B 1400-1500 - is Half A a better school and should be ranked 50 spots higher?    [/quote]

Quality of peer students should be a major factor.

Why?[/quote]

Because peer interactions in the class room is part of the education.[/quote]
NP. I agree, though the only *cough* standardized way to do that would be by including scores. With test optional policies in place, that may be out the window, unless % submitting is accounted for.[/quote]
