<p>[Is any of this subjective? Where does the data come from to make such a list? The schools? Are they being honest?]</p>
<p>“The data sent by colleges to U.S. News are self-reported and unaudited.
Also, many of the factors are entirely subjective to begin with. One dean told me that when she rates reputations of other comparable graduate schools, she hasn’t a clue how to rate more than a few. There is also the all-too-human temptation to downgrade the near competition.”</p>
