USNWR has two main rankings - National Universities Ranking and the [National</a> Liberal Arts Rankings](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/liberal-arts-rankings]National”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/liberal-arts-rankings). Wellesley is tied for fourth in the US in the latter for the past 2 years.</p>
<p>Interestingly, and back to the OP, NBC was taken to task by Wellesley for leaving them out in a recent broadcast (Middlebury was listed as 4, with no mention of the tie). The segment must have been produced by a Middlebury grad. [NBC</a> skips Wellesley in college rankings, apologizes](<a href=“http://www.boston.com/yourtown/news/wellesley/2010/08/nbc_misses_wellesley_in_colleg.html]NBC”>http://www.boston.com/yourtown/news/wellesley/2010/08/nbc_misses_wellesley_in_colleg.html)</p>
