Rising 3 spots from #10, Duke initiated free tuition this yr for incomes 150k or less for NC,SC students. Change in criteria and this may have benefited them.
Really surprised me to see how well the state schools did this year.
Berkeley T15 with UCLA right behind it was surprising. They are truly great universities, but it seemed like USNews just had an aversion to ever putting a public school in the teens.
UVA UNC UMich all cracked T25, UT Austin up 6 spots from last year.
WashU, CMU, ND dropped a bit from where they’ve been for the past few years.
NYU and Tufts fell much farther than I would have expected, not sure why exactly that is.
Tulane fell off a cliff. Holy crap. They were T50 for the past few years, I think even as high as low 40s, but they’re at 73.
SMU and TCU also dropped a good margin too.
I don’t know why I find this so interesting because it’s so nonsensical but just some observations that stuck out to me.
It's because the US News modified their methodology to weigh diversity in student body higher, which is why the state schools rose while a lot of good, but homogenous schools dropped.
i was shocked how trash it is as somebody who goes to a highly ranked semi-target. like i really don't get how my school is so highly ranked as a semi-target when it's careers fairs are so ass
I already know you’re talking ab ucla lol
Maybe because there’s more to evaluating colleges than how many investment banks recruit at your school lol
ucla has quite shit recruiting for its ranking. sure that school costs cheaper, but the jobs landed are also pretty trash by the average student at ucla, especially those not into business/tech. compete so hard to get in to realize the best recruiter is deloitte at your business career fair and the rest are boutiques or barely tier 2.
Rankings don’t really matter. Go to the school with the hottest chicks
College rankings are stupid, especially if you're looking at overall rankings instead of ones specific to your program(s) of interest.
UChicago from #6 last year to #12
