I think some people are looking at this all wrong. Rankings are based on OUTCOMES. Not prestige, acceptance rate or test scores

Regarding Harvey Mudd, for whatever reason, I believe they exclude schools with fewer than 1,000 students. That would include Cooper Union, St Johns (Md)

What? How did they manage to overlook Harvey Mudd? It's a top engineering school in the country. They ranked the other Claremont Colleges. Pomona College is #24. Claremont McKenna is #35. Scripps College is #66. Pitzer College is #80.
That's one hell of a miss. Somewhat undermines these rankings.
They didn’t miss. It was intentional, meaning somethings wrong with the methodology. Also,
82 Mich State
83 Santa Clara
83 Texas A&M
83 Naval Academy
Who would place Mich State, Santa Claus, and Texas A &M above the US Naval Academy?

I speak on good authority:
nobody chooses Northwestern over Ivies
nobody chooses Brown over Princeton
nobody chooses Chicago over Columbia
and Georgetown is 10 spots too low

none of these is valuable, some programs at universities and colleges in 50-100 are top 10-20, e.g., umd cs
all these rankings are just to justify the prices at these 'top' universities/colleges
never heard of 1/3 of these institutions in the top 50, never read any scientific paper coming from those; do the professors there do research?

To me this is much more valuable than US News rankings.

The WSJ rankings also let you reweight the factors you care more about. So for example I put 70% on outcomes and 10% on resources, engagement, and environment. If you do this, Cornell jumps to 7, Columbia falls a few places, Virginia jumps up to the 30s and Maryland jumps to the 40s.

I was the poster who mentioned GT as a notable omission. Funny that it was the next school on the list.
