<p>I cleaned up the list a bit, correcting some names (adding Chicago instead of Columbia at #16), spelling out names so people could more easily understand them.</p>
<p>There was a few schools that weren’t listed (put at the bottom of the new list) as well as Vermont listed twice when Northeastern was supposed to occupy the other Vermont slot. </p>
<p>Also the new 3rd column is the difference between the calculated PA and the actual PA. A positive number indicates that the school’s PA in the US News ranking is underrated, a negative indicates an overrate.</p>
<p>Very interesting data collegehelp</p>
