What I would like to see is for a student/subscriber be able to apply their own percentages to each of the criterea and have the system spit out a personalized list. It should not be that hard for USNews to add this feature because they have the data.

There was a study done by Carnegie Communications that actually polled students on what percetnages they would apply to each of the categories. The rankings changed a good amount for some of the schools. This was primarily due to they peer assessment becoming only 5% of the equation.

Here is a link to the free download PDF of their study:
