1) The real question is whether this ranking even matters. The bottomline is that WashU gets 20,000 applications; it’s clearly doing something right.

2) On a more relevant note, the real components of a ranking SHOULD BE what happens when a student gets to the school: academic opportunities, internships in the surrounding community, campus atmosphere, even food. WashU students will tell you that their school excels in all these areas.

Sounds like an easy case to me.
