The ranking doesn’t even make sense. It’s a ranking that uses discrepancy between US News ranking and ROI ranking as the metric, and as a ranking that is titled “20 Prestige Colleges that Offer an Ugly Return on Your Investment”, that doesn’t seem to be the metric that should be in place.

In terms of ‘bad bang for the $’, Chicago ranks 35th in the nation for ROI ranking. It is the 28th most expensive university. Seems about right to me, wouldn’t you say? Especially with consideration of Rny2’s point. Other rankings have ranked Chicago in the top 10 for schools in which it is easy to make money.
