I don’t really get these rankings. If you’re after money, it’s not really the school you’re worried about (unless you’re really into Investment Banking), it’s the major. The ivies are at the top of the list, because so many of their students go into financial services and tech. If you’re interested in government, policy, or social services, this list punishes you for…wanting to help the public.

The site notes that "Some institutions were excluded from our sample due to data limitations." In the case of Williams, this appears to represent a deficiency in the site's research methods since the publicly available information on Williams is generally robust.

Yeah...it's kind of garbage to only publish rankings of schools that respond to your survey (at least that is my interpretation)..

WalletHub did not conduct any surveys for this analysis. When it refers to data limitations it is referring to insufficient public information.

Then how did they rank Colby. Something is fishy about this wallethub.

This is an older thread that first started in 2023.

Wallethub is garbage. Period.

Also my issue with Poets & Quants, though I would think more schools respond to them than Wallet Hub.

Which school you are referring to?
