“Cornell and Princeton went up largely because both just got on the common app…”

If Cornell leapfrogs Northwestern in US News ranking only because of that (though we probably can’t say that’s the only reason if that happens), it will just show how flawed the ranking is. A school is all of a sudden better because it switches to common app?? I wonder if Northwestern will play the stupid ranking game in near future.
