Colleges and Universities report their stats every year to USNWR; they don't to WSJ,. There are thousands of ranking systems out there because everyone wants to cash in on the campus craziness market. USNWR is the only one that counts

Get over it! That's how the numbers pan out. NYU is 26 one WSJ and 29 one USNews. Enough to be 25 when combined because there's no other schools beating that score.
See what I mean?

1.Harvard

25. Georgetown
25. NYU
Well, UVA is tied with CMU on USNWR for no 25, so I'm gathering your kid didn't get into UVA?
No, UVA is 25 on USNews but 55 on WSJ for a combined rank of 40. I guess it's another notable omission.
But USNWR is all that matters. All the other rankings don't. That's why all the colleges are trying to get top stats kids to report to USNWR. USNWR runs colleges in the US because they are so beholden to it. Wrong, but still true.
USNews isn't all that matters. Every single one of these schools posts the results of WSJ indicating that they care about this ranking as well. They don't post Forbes or Nice so I didn't use it.
