USNWR Ratings – So where are all the points?

OK, here we go;
________________________________________
I have re-sorted the fifteen (15) USNWR ranking criteria from the highest value subcategories (Peer review @ 25%) down to (% of full time faculty @ 1%)

There seems to be a lot misinformation about how important certain subsections really are.

USNWR SCORING CRITERIA Subsections:
1- Peer Assessment / 25%
2- 6 yr graduation rate / 16%
3- Per student spending / 10%
4- SAT / ACT scores / 8%
5- Faculty Salary / 7%
6- Classes fewer than 20 / 6%
7-Top 10% students / 6%
8- Actual vs. Predicted graduation / 5%
9- % of alumni who contributed / 5%
10- freshman retention rate / 4%
11- Professors with highest degree / 3%
12- Classes of more than 50 / 2%
13- Acceptance rate / 2%
14- Student Faculty ratio / 1%
15- Percent of full time faculty / 1%

Grand Total Points 100%

I will be presenting all these 15 sub-categories in terms of how UF stands vs. the universities in front of it on the top 10 list.
