<p>Well, some schools care more about test scores than others. Yet certain schools that are in the top 40 or even top 20 by test scores aren’t nearly as impressive when you rank by percentage of alums who have noteworthy acheivements (and of course, even top state schools see as their mission serving all segments of their state population, which brings down their test scores): <a href=“Ivy-equivalents - College Search & Selection - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1682986-ivy-equivalents.html</a> </p>
<p>Note also that those universities who do well in the test score ranking but not in the achievements ranking also don’t do nearly as well as the schools who do rank high by achievements in LinkedIn’s rankings by career progression: <a href=“https://■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/edu/rankings/us”>https://■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/edu/rankings/us</a></p>
