<p>ranking based on following weights:
25% Student Selectivity
25% Peer Assessment Score
20% Faculty Resources
20% NRC Mean for Physics, English, and Psychology
10% Financial Resources</p>
<p>I first standardized the scores so they were all on the same scale. That is, for example, SAT scores and NRC rankings were both placed on a scale that basically ranged from -3 to +3. Then I applied the weights.</p>
