Most egregious (didn't bother comparing to 2018):

#3 Chicago

#3 Columbia

#10 Johns Hopkins

#10 Northwestern

#19 UCLA (above #22 Berkeley, #25 UVA, and #27 Michigan)

#21 Emory

#22 USC (tied with Berkeley lmao)

#3 Chicago -- Still out-WUSTL'ing WUSTL

#3 Columbia -- It's been around there for 20 years. Hardly a big move.

#10 Johns Hopkins -- Just a bit higher than historical norms.

#10 Northwestern -- See JHU.

#19 UCLA (above #22 Berkeley, #25 UVA, and #27 Michigan) -- Now that's a development.

#21 Emory -- Not sure. Never followed Emory much. Seems high.

#22 USC (tied with Berkeley lmao) -- WULA (Washington University in Los Angeles)

True though Columbia pretty clearly was firmly entrenched around #9 for 2 decades.

Seems like they took off a bit as NYC got cleaned up. Kids probably started to prefer the NYC lifestyle to Durham/Philly/Providence/Hanover, NH, etc

Also at the same time, the elite college population shifted away from suburban/rural whites more towards Jews/Asians/URMs who probably prefer cities.

All those schools seem overrated. No one outside of CA has heard of any UC schools aside from Cal and UCLA. Test scores are pretty garbage. Don't know why they would be above decent state flagships with the same or better entrance stats and much better name recognition.

There are 3 categories of UGs:

1) Prestigious schools (there are like 9 of them)

2) Schools that only the students and alumni think are prestigious

3) Schools that no one thinks are prestigious

Autistically ranking them is really a stupid exercise and waste of time.

okay let's do your protocol. I'll start:

1) HYPS, MIT, Wharton (not the rest of Penn), probably Columbia

2) Chicago, the rest of Penn, WUSTL, Rice, Tufts, most LACs

3) U of Southern Illinois Carbondale

Not sure if this helps or hurts Caltech, but it's new this year:

Social mobility: New this year, we factored a school's success at promoting social mobility by graduating students who received federal Pell Grants (those typically coming from households whose family incomes are less than $50,000 annually, though most Pell Grant money goes to students with a total family income below $20,000). See below the two measures that factor into social mobility.

Pell Grant graduation rates are weighted at 2.5 percent. This new ranking indicator measures the success of Pell Grant students on an absolute basis. To calculate this indicator, we use a school's six-year graduation rate among new fall 2011 entrants receiving Pell Grants. This assesses each school’s performance graduating students from low-income backgrounds. A higher Pell Grant graduation rate scores better than a lower one.

Pell Grant graduation rates compared with all other students are weighted at 2.5 percent. This additional new ranking factor compares each school's six-year graduation rate among Pell recipients who were new fall 2011 entrants graduating in 2017 with the six-year graduation rate among non-Pell recipients at the same school by dividing the former into the latter. The minority of schools whose Pell graduation rates are equal to or greater than non-Pell graduation rates score the highest. Altogether, this metric assesses each school’s performance at supporting students from underserved backgrounds relative to all of its other students. The lower a school's Pell graduation rate relative to its non-Pell graduation rate, the lower it scores on this indicator.

Scores for the new social mobility indicators were then adjusted by the proportion of the entering class that was awarded Pell Grants because achieving a higher low-income student graduation rate is more challenging with a larger proportion of low-income students.

when US News first ranked schools by objective criteria such as cost to salary ratio etc., Ivy League schools were ranked like fiftieth. So the editors added all sorts of arbitrary, self-referential variables, tweaked the weightings of each arbitrarily etc. until Harvard = #1 and so forth. It is totally arbitrary and random schools like Chicago, Rice, WUSTL etc. to show up much higher than they otherwise would.

Pell Grant is a great proxy for diversity. You have to be of extremely modest means to qualify for Pell. So schools aren't rewarded for just admitting people for the color of their skin.

You're never absent from these threads. How many colleges have you attended?

Sure, but what are you basing your assessments on?

I say this as someone who has been affiliated with more than a small handful of colleges, from absolute TTTs to HYPS.

Didn't you go to a TTT? Why are you so invested in this topic?

You said you went to a state school IIRC. That qualifies as TTT.

True but I work as a recruiter for HFs so this does matter a "little" bit

we all know these rankings are fraud because we are experts who have been debating college rankings on the internet for decades

do kids in high school today know that the rankings are fraud, or do they actually believe that Chicago and Columbia are peer schools with Yale?

nah, when i was in high school i never believed notre dame was anything but a top 50 catholic jerkfest. always thought emory was a joke too and this was on dial-up internet.

i mean, only people that got into chicago think they are peers with Yale. kids aren't that dumb. the internet and google search is stronger with new generations than with our generation.
