I should add…we never looked at or saw the USNews rankings and really didn’t care about them. The only ranking that mattered was the one our kid did.

I wholeheartedly agree. I wish I could say we didn’t know the rankings but they were not considered for either of our children and were ignored. Both kids had very different criteria for their choice of where to apply and created their own rankings as to where they wanted to attend. Both have been successful and neither had any unexpected rejections.
