Combine this useless factor with the 11% weighted for Pell Grant things and I continue to be amazed anyone pays any attention to USNWR rankings.

Not a big difference, of course.

I'm a bit surprised that UC Berkeley's peer assessment score (4.6) is higher than that of Michigan (4.4) and UCLA (4.4), but that's probably indicative of the reputation, scope, and quality of Berkeley's prolific research (and top-notch grad programs).
