@TomSrOfBoston This was an enlightening article: https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2014/08/26/how-northeastern-gamed-the-college-rankings/. Do other colleges do unethical things? Unfortunately yes, and I am sure they do this to survive. Other colleges were listed in this article. And, U.S. News makes no apology for their list. ““You can love us or hate us, but we’re not going away,” says U.S. News editor Brian Kelly. “University officials realized we’re much more valuable to them than not.” He deflects criticism, saying, “It’s not up to us to solve problems. We’re just putting data out there.” He does, however, admit that the rankings system can be gamed.” Forbes has a list and so forth and so on. This was another great article about merit: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/11/1/16526202/college-scholarship-tycoon-game . An eye-opening experience for certain, and it will be a different experience for my daughters, as I am a much wiser parent now. And, I didn’t go into this as a Bambi.
