<p>to what extent , if any, does forbes use peer assessment in its criteria? </p>
<p>We know that the ‘default ranking service’ in our culture, USNR, uses PA and that it accounts for 25 pct of the weight , I believe.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>…and go from visceral feelings. PA , I bet, is ALOT like non-peer assessment, since I think that alot of the assessment that college admins or whoever are called upon to make these assessments, use ‘gut’, newspaper headlines, or visceral impressions , not unlike regular ol’ people - since that is what they are, of course.</p>
