A different sort of ranking

Graduation in 4 years depends on the student, his or her ability to keep up academically, and the ability to not be a screw-up. Also, some schools like Yale FORCE you out after 4 years so it’s either you graduate or you don’t. Other schools (like cornell’s arch program) are 5 years long. Another factor is double majoring. I have brilliant friends at state schools that are double/triple majoring over a 5 year period. Unless a school has an abysmally low 4 year graduation rate, that’s a pretty useless set of rankings with all due respect.
