Mixing up publics and privates doesn't seem to provide good information anymore.
If you just look at privates, not much changes and it makes good sense.
Noticeable changes are UChicago and WashU dropping for T20ish schools.
Boston College ranking higher than Tufts.
Lehigh rising, while Wake Forest and Tulane drop.
Best post of this thread, IS News should split the rankings (and Lehigh is too high).
Agree that Lehigh is too high, but credit for Lehigh is that it produces great outcome especially in engineering and business.
Outcome should be a major factor. That's a good direction.
But outcome in engineering and business is not a factor if your kid wants to be a theater, music, art history or journalism major.
Which school has good outcome for theater, music, art history or journalism major?
Schools have more of the BS majors and produce mediocre outcomes should not ranked high.

Agreed based on family experience. My nephew just graduate from Lehigh with a joint business/computer science degree and had several job offers from top notch finance and consulting firms.

Actually I think Lehigh is ranked perhaps slightly too low. Schools like Boston College, Georgetown and Wash U have ignored the development of their engineering and computer science programs for too long.

Agree 100%.
I separate university & college rankings into 4 categories:
Private National Universities
Public National Universities
Public National University Honors Colleges
Liberal Arts Colleges (LACs)
+1
These ranking systems are getting crazier.

Lehigh has 1,770 graduate students; Bucknell has just 44 grad students. This is a significant distinction & explins why Lehigh is a National University while Bucknell is an LAC.

Not sure that I understand your comment. Lehigh is a National University, while Bucknell is an LAC, however there are similarities among Lehigh, Lafayette, and Bucknell.
