This is not ranked for every school, only the top ranked schools are shown for each category (<a href=“http://premium.usnews.com/best-colleges/undergraduate-teaching[/url]”>http://premium.usnews.com/best-colleges/undergraduate-teaching&lt;/a&gt;). You can view this page without purchasing the premium version.</p>

<p>GoBlue81, thank you so much; you’re heaven’s sent. :)</p>

<p>Regarding the best undergrad teaching, do you happen to have the full listing? I can only access from number 1 to 11.</p>

<p>GoBlue81, can you post the selectivity rank of Vanderbilt as well as it’s Undergraduate Teaching Rank. Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>Vandy’s PA is 4.0; selectivity rank is 20.</p>

<p>For “best undergraduate teaching”, what you see is all that’s posted. In this case, college administrators were not asked to rank from 1 to 5; they were asked to name schools “paying particular focus on undergraduate teaching”.</p>

<p>^ So, you mean the list of schools accessible to non USNews members is complete? There’s no school listed after #11?</p>

<p>GoBlue-
That page linked requires an account log-in. Can it be done without paying anything?</p>

<p>I just wanted to find out if the following schools have made it in the list:</p>

<p>Vanderbilt
Caltech
MIT
Harvard
UCLA
JHU
Penn
Cornell
Tufts
Washinton USL
Columbia
Emory
Northwestern
Uva
USC
CMU
Georgetown
NYU</p>

<p>sorry; double posts.</p>

<p>

Yes. Here it is again for National Universities:</p>

<ol>
<li>Dartmouth</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Stanford, U of Maryland-Baltimore County</li>
<li>Brown; William and Mary</li>
<li>Duke; Miami U-Oxford</li>
<li>Bowling Green State; Howard; Rice; UC-Berkeley; Chicago; Michigan; UNC-Chapel Hill; U of St. Thomas; Wake Forest</li>
</ol>

<p>

This just in: WashU is more selective than Stanford.</p>

<p>Okay, so maybe the selectivity metric is reasonably accurate. But there are some things out of proportion. I think the whole top 10% thing gets weighed too much, for example.</p>
