We have an acquaintance who has sat in on the Harvard selection committees and Yale and is equally knowlegdeable about Stanford. Of all the schools she thinks Stanford is truly number one. She said its the one school she would tell parents to actually consider mortgaging their house to make the tutition payment. So I asked her the same question, If Stanford is so great why is it that Yale and Harvard are always ranked 1 and/or 2. She stated that Stanford is the only school who actually doesn’t submit stats to USNWR. Stanford does not subscribe to that ranking. Hence the report has to come up with their own statistics. She gives Stanford a lot of credit for now bowing down to these rankings and submitting to this form of advertisement. And of course, as we all know its certainly a school worthy of its praise.
