Barnard shares many majors, professors and facilities with Columbia. USNWR doesn’t take into consideration any of those factors when tabulating the ranking. If they did, Barnard would rank higher than Wellesley ;)

Scripps is part of the Claremont Colleges, which include Pomona, Pitzer, Harvey Mudd, and Claremont McKenna. Scripps shares libraries and many facilities with the boarding colleges. Also, Scripps women can take up to 2/3 of their courses at a consortium college. Again, USNWR ignores the relationship with the other highly ranked colleges in ranking equation.
