<p>I agree, first everyone would have to agree on exactly what criteria is used to develop these ‘rankings’. I seem to recall several well known schools earlier this summer saying they would no longer support such surveys which ask them to do ‘peer assessments’ of other schools with which they compete.</p>
<p>Obviously, for schools ranked “highly” they use this for good PR.</p>
<p>Not sure what use it serves besides that. Does this ranking somehow help a h.s. student to decide on one college over another?</p>
