Subject: Combining Multiple Undergrad Rankings To Get One! Interesting Results
Anonymous wrote:Saw this and thought it was interesting. Basically someone took the average ranking of each college from these sources and created a composite rank for each school relative to all the other schools. It was noted schools like Georgetown and Duke were underranked by US News and schools like UChicago and JHU were overranked. Some of these rankings included focus more on academics and some more on ROI, so with a composite I believe the idea was to see which schools excel in all the important metrics for undergrad.
Wow Georgetown does consistently well!

There were multiple publications, including US News, which have UF over UCSD

I think everyone knows UF is better than UCSD, not really close but where is UT, better than both?? Agree with rankings for UVA, UNC, and rest of publics.
UT probably just missed the cut. It's up and coming though, I expect it to be a contender for T5 publics in the next few decades

USC is highly selective and has some great programs especially in film and the arts. Not bad for CS either. I think putting it in the top 20 like WSJ is ridiculous, but putting it at 27 like this overall ranking does is reasonable.
