<p>“I almost had a heart attack this morning when I saw Michigan at #1 for undergrad finance (over Penn), and NYU not even in the top 10 anymore. I thought I was going crazy.”</p>
<p>Exactly. This is the reason US News has gotten so much attention. Not because people are trying to figure out which schools are good or not but because people want some validation as to why their school is really the best and the US News rankings give that (or don’t give that). People really need to step away from their panic button if their school goes up or down a few spots (pretty sure the people at Hampshire College really don’t care now haha)</p>
