<p>I think we all have our own internal set of rankings, which aren’t likely to line up perfectly with US News. These are based on whichever factors are important to us (location, majors, undergrad experience, etc) These operate on a similar concept- using alternate ranking methods. I personally don’t agree with a lot of them, but this is an issue that is obviously subjective. Just so you know- UCR is not better than Harvard.</p>
