[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMO, the best ranking happens when you combine a lot of different rankings (focusing only on the top 50 on WSJ)

So for top 10 universities, we have HYPMS, Caltech, UPenn, Duke, Brown, and Columbia. Only really missing UChicago, but they explicitly play to the US News rankings and thus might be a little overrated.
For top 5 LACs, we have Pomona, Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, and Bowdoin. Almost no one would disagree with these 5, though the order might shift around.  
For top 5 public Us, we have Berkeley, UCLA, U of M, UVA, and UNC Chapel Hill. Again, that exact order is pretty much how undergrad reputation for public universities go.

It's interesting to see how different rankings vary. WSJ does seem to favor public universities. [/quote]

The truth is that any of those 50 schools (and a hundred more) can offer your student an amazing education, and it largely depends on what your child wants in a college. Ranking school is a pointless and utterly ridiculous exercise.[/quote]
