<p>To everyone that considers ranking is everything…When you get a job ranking doesn’t matter, unless its the ivies. In your interview nobody is going to question you about your schools selectivity or how tough it was for you to get in. Get a high GPA, some internship and research experiences and that’s all that matter’s. I mean your boss will be someone who graduated from universities like Kansas State. </p>
<p>But if you want to show off by saying “Whoooo I went to a highly competitive college” then that’s up to you. </p>
<p>Talking about US news, here’s what I found “U.S. News ranking system is deeply flawed. Instead of focusing on the fundamental issues of how well colleges and universities educate their students and how well they prepare them to be successful after college, the magazine’s rankings are almost entirely a function of three factors: fame, wealth, and exclusivity”</p>
<p>There you have it, goto whichever college you will be happy at or its cheaper for you.</p>
