i understand what you’re saying, rankings shouldn’t be used as the sole determining factor in any decision. they are, however, useful for vaguely forming opinions on one school’s quality compared to another based on specific criteria. it is true that these criteria are determined by the rankers and thus, may not be as important to you as other unrankable factors.

so the rankings in this case indicate that based on the measured data, the two schools are essentially on the same level. to determine what this means to you in your decision, you’d have to look at the ranking and find out what it was based on and whether those things matter to you.
