Pay scale outcome is based on tax filings.

Columbia was removed from the 2022 ranking (tied at #2) due to recent disclosures of improper data submission to US News. Columbia University is one of a handful of elite schools that does not submit a CDS.
For the top 5, go with the 5 largest endowments (Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton, MIT).
Then Penn, Chicago, Northwestern, Caltech, & Duke in some order.
Johns Hopkins and Columbia tied at #11.
Next grouping: Dartmouth, Brown, Vanderbilt, Cornell, & WashUStL.
Next 5: Rice, Notre Dame, UCLA, & Cal-Berkeley.
USC may move up from its current #27 position.
Columbia is #5 by Forbes.
Doesn't matter what National Enquirer, Vogue, Victoria Secret, or US News says.
I guess that everyone is entitled to at least one fantasy.

Columbia as #5 by Forbes is not a fantasy. It's a fact.
A fact that nobody cares much.
More important fact is that USN&WR is the flagship ranking ý
US News is mass media, like National Enquirer is. Colleges can run circles around these clowns. But they can't game Forbes bc you can't fake outcomes.
