^the ranking is based on the ‘perceived’ top 5 law, top 5 business, top 5 med schools, it’s pretty narrow and pretty flawed, on top of that the difference between Duke and Columbia is marginal. Cal tech for example gets shafted at #28 because it isn’t pre-professional, with most students going into science/engineering/econ/math. It’s not like cal tech students would not be able to get into top professional programs, they simply choose not to. There’s no way to tease out such and other biases, because all the feeder rankings give you is one %.
