This ranking has the best methodology I have seen so far. None of the "peer" reviews subjective weighting of 20% or number of first generation/pell grants we see in US News ranking.

How so? I didn’t do a deep dive, but if one of the criteria is affordability, and another is earnings, it makes some sense to me. Seems like a balance of (1) well-endowed schools that offer financial aid to a wider range of students, (2) schools that send a high percentage of kids into high-earning careers like finance or consulting, and (3) schools that lower cost by offering considerable merit aid.

Several interesting separate rankings given for each school.

12 schools earned top score of 99:

1) Yale
2) MIT
3) Princeton
4) CalTech
5) Harvard
6) Duke

7) Rice
8) Northwestern
9) Johns Hopkins
10) Stanford
11) Dartmouth
12) Swarthmore


You got it wrong, this is the ranking from the site:

1. Princeton University
2. Yale University
3. Harvard University
4. Massachusetts Institute of Technology
5. Dartmouth College

That was posted in 2023.


This is the 2025 ranking posted in October 2024.

Yes, but you said the pp you quoted “got it wrong”. They didn’t get it wrong, it’s just been superseded. You didn’t look at the posting date.

Boss: How do we drive up web traffic so we can sell ads?

Intern: we could create a ranking using data used by other rankings, but just tweak the calculations.

Boss: are people that stupid?

Intern: trust me.

Why the snark?



+1. Plus they can't read or think. Wallethub's ranking is "top is performing schools with lowest cost to students" so of course privates with huge endowments, huge alumni giving and resources are going to rank higher than most publics on Wallethub. By the way no one in college admissions reads wallethub. They all use the gold standard of USNWR where UVA is ranked no 24 in the nation.
