Source of selecting and ranking colleges

@momofsenior1
I saw that ranking yesterday and it makes no sense what they are measuring.

  1. U Washington 8900 net cost, 85k average salary, 60k starting salary
  2. Georgia Tech 12000 net cost, 101k average salary, 70k starting salary

Umm… I think 101k is a whole lot better than 85k… for only 3k more of educational costs. In fact the first year salary difference more than makes up for it.

The methodology says they took (netcost/avg salary) and ranked them… what measurement is that? Whoever came up with that should have their calculator taken away.

If my hypothetical college charged 1M for and education and the avg graduate received 2M in avg salary, my college would not even be listed. Furthermore, a person who works at Subway spent 0 in education cost and makes 15k per year would be ranked #1.
