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

<p>totally agree with rico2 and like when i wear my RPI stuff around…the people who know RPI usually think i’m like a genius or something…like people even compare us to MIT…just don’t get why both us and WPI (WPI esp) get slaughtered on rankings…</p>

<p>and to schoom…yeah i’m referring to US News rankings…</p>
