Why are schools like RPI and WPI ranked low (even for engineering)??

<p>one weird thing about RPI i noticed is that the avg SAT scores went up a lot in the past few years (from like 1310 to 1360)…yet their engineering rankings went down from like the teens to the low 20s…</p>

<p>and also WPI being ranked THAT much lower than RPI makes no sense…</p>
