<p>Do keep in mind that these rankings should only be used as a rough guideline in your decision process (i.e. distinguishing between the stronger schools and the weaker schools). They should not be used to nitpick over, say, a #3 school vs. #7 school…</p>

<p>There are certainly perks of going to a school that offers a strong program in your field of interest… for example, networking opportunities can be much stronger, and the variety of classes offered can be much greater, allowing you to better tailor your electives around your interests. That being said, I feel it’s vital that you pick a school which best fits you, rather than stressing over things like school prestige.</p>
