Very surprised that there's a big gap between Princeton and Harvard. How large is the gap?

Can't we learn more on Reddit? Nearly identical posts and lists have been put on at least 2 other threads. Wallet Hub and Degree Choices...does anyone view those as sources of college rankings?
Looking at early career earnings with no major or field data is also misleading. Shocker... with the current tech market, schools with more limited scopes and with large proportions of graduates going into tech have high early career earners (CalTech, CMU, MIT, Harvey Mudd)! That doesn't mean, for example, going to those schools for CS will yield you better earnings than similar graduates from Yale, Harvard, Stanford, and Princeton, all of which have lower early career earnings in Money's system. On another thread, it was also pointed out that Stanford's CS grads have the highest initial salaries for CS majors.
Excellent points. I would also like to suggest that earnings don't equal success in all fields. This kind of ranking penalizes schools that are excellent in fields that are less lucrative overall. While earning potential is a consideration, higher ed should primarily be about education.
Also, ever even heard of Wallet Hub and Degree Choices.

Wow, is UChicago paying US News or something? Because it looks like they do much worse on every ranking that is not US News. Really puts them in a different light once you look outside the US News tunnel. Same with Johns Hopkins, it dropped dramatically once you look outside US News.
Both U. Chicago and Hopkins are focused on students going onto further studies, which obviously lowers their earning potential 5-10 years out from college.
U. Chicago focuses on graduate/law school rather than sending students to Wall Street/top-tier consulting etc.
Hopkins focuses on pre-med. Otherwise if you look at departmental rankings, Hopkins doesn't do any better than the state flagships in engineering, etc. And it doesn't send many to Wall Street/top-tier consulting. Obviously Hopkin's top tier medical school does not help much for undergraduate education, so not sure why it is such a sought after pre-med destination.
Ironically the culture of stress at these universities probably reduce the students chances of getting into good graduate/law/professional schools.

From the original post where the data was taken from: https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/xc0v5x/the_2023_supreme_t75_college_ranking_aggregating/
"In a nutshell, the rankings like Forbes, Washington Monthly, and Money care more about which schools provide high social mobility and opportunity access for lower income students while minimizing debt, rankings like WSJ/THE, Degree Choices, and WalletHub care more about pure earning potential, student outcomes, and ROI, rankings like US News care more about the achievements of students entering the college, the resources of the college, and the reputation of the college, and rankings like Niche care more about the overall student experience beyond just academics, such as student satisfaction/happiness, food, campus life and amenities, etc. So, by finding which schools are the best through an aggregate ranking, we find which schools succeed in all of these manners that singular rankings such as US News or Forbes might undervalue or miss completely."
For UMC, like me, based on above, niche and wallethub rankings are more important.
