Ranking undergraduate schools is more absurd than ranking graduate schools. With graduate schools, you can be more objective and specific. With undergrad - its pretty weird.

edit: stanford isn’t good because its ranked high. It’s good because of prestige. People read the newspaper and see so and so professor from stanford doing this research or winning this award. Fast-forward a few decades…
