@“Cariño” ": Unfortunately according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_magazines_by_circulation, as of June 30, 2017 based on data from the Alliance for Audited Media, Forbes is ranked 85 with a circulation of 928,464. It seems not many people are reading Forbes even on the monthly basis.

Those rankings really do not have much meaning. Only some schools which are aggressively manipulating a particular ranking are panicking now… it seems all their efforts have been wasted and due to the manipulation, they got a lot of wrong students who end up in the mental hospitals.

Hey! it looks like Caltech has the lowest “engagement score” among the top 20 … my spouse’s advisor’s statement which was made more than 20 years ago is right .
