Looks like they were a fraud, and have now just reverted back to where they were before they started fudging data:

In February, Columbia Mathematics Professor Michael Thaddeus questioned the Ivy League school’s rise in rankings from 18th place, on its debut in 1988, to 2nd place in 2021. In a statement posted on Columbia University’s Department of Mathematics’ website, Thaddeus noted that “few other top-tier universities have also improved their standings, but none has matched Columbia’s extraordinary rise.”

There is a simple explanation for this. Chicago didn't used to use the Common App. Instead they used their notorious "Uncommon Application" that was extremely long and had a bunch of weird essay questions. The objective was to make it super annoying to apply to Chicago so that only people who were genuinely serious about the school bothered to apply. But they eventually scrapped that and switched to the Common App. That led to a spike in their USNWR ranking because their acceptance rate went from like 50% to 5%.

It's funny that this shitty list, which has case literal TTT to increase their tuition to $60,000 per year (because spending per student is a factor of prestige!), is like not insignificantly tied to the decline of America.

If some dumbass hadn't started this list, people woldn't be paying $60,000 per year in tuition to go to George Washington/

Part of the issue with this shit is that the SAT has become so meaningless. 1500+ today is like 1350+ 20 years ago.

You used to be able to make the case that like the average Dartmouth student was smarter than the average Georgetown student.

Now I'm not sure you can make the case a Dartmoth kid is smarter than a Tulane kid - they all scored like 1500 on the joke SATs.

Yes - just looking at the averages, scores are up 50 points.

My guess is too if an average person gains 50 points, a smart person probably gains 100 points.

Given that every school in the top 50 now has near perfect SAT scores, it just doesn't seem like there's a lot of room for a kid to separate themselves...

"it has limited lay prestige on the West Coast"

I don't think this is true. Other than Harvard, it is probably the most referenced college in pop culture. Look at the list of dream colleges for kids - its #4.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/27/these-are-the-countrys-top-dream-colleges.html

I wouldn't send my kid there but every single person on TV is sending their kid there (both because of its film school and because it makes for a good plot point as the parent has to grapple with sending kids to a school that is expensive, far, and a huge cultural change).

i'm from the west coast

i'm sure that is gradually changing, but it has a lot less lay prestige on the west coast than stanford, harvard, yale princeton, the UC schools, etc.

gaps between schools below the top few don't really matter, when employers look at resumes nobody is splitting hairs over northwestern / michigan or hopkins / duke or brown / cornell or unc / uva.

but anyways obligatory (michigan man)

"Who the f picks Northwestern over Michigan?"

I'd bet the cross-admit stats show that something like 75% pick Northwestern.

How long until the first class action drops (or did I miss it)?

Also, will anyone go to prison for this? I seem to recall a business school in Philly got busted a couple of years back and the dean ended up in prison.

Columbia is tied with Notre Dame

notre Dame lost to Marshall

Therefore Marshall U >> Columbia
