I'm curious as to why fordham is ranked twice. Are they that much better than the rest of us?
I KNEW I should have gone to Colby instead of my 40+ ranked Ivy.
Outside of the top 100: Hopkins, WUSTL, UIUC, USC
Outside top 150: UT-Austin, NYU
Outside of top 200: Indiana BYU Maryland
Outside top 250: Ohio State Minnesota Wisconsin
Other major ones: 397 Georgia Tech 436 Rutgers
Also, nyu's ranking seems pretty generous. I just don't think they're quite top 200 material.
my college ranks outside of 500, shittt
Dude Forbes is always the worst. Don't they do it by alumni earnings and average student debt or some shit? If that doesn't skew towards giant state schools idk what does.

It actually skews it the opposite of huge state schools for whatever reason. Witness Michigan, Cal, and UNC all in the 70-90 range. And god help you if you go to a slightly lesser school like Wisconsin, Illinois, or Texas, you'll be lucky to crack the top 250. Their rankings are full of crappy liberal arts schools that no one has ever heard of above much more reputable schools.
Ah, what was I thinking applying to Michigan when I could have been directing my efforts to Saint Anselm. Screw Wash U, Muhlenberg College gives you a much better shot at succeeding. What was I thinking passing up on Rollins College and Luther College for Wisconsin? Listen, any ranking that indicates The College of Idaho is better than Texas is seriously incorrect.
Go Purple Cows! haha, rankings are dumb.
I remember getting marketing materials from them way back when and thinking "wtf is up with these purple cows?!" lol
Patrick can't complain about these rankings... Williams #1
I never saw a purple cow I never hope to see one; But I can tell you, anyhow, I'd rather see than be one!
Go Ephelia! Go Purple Cow!
The list is legit! xD
i filtered to the state of California... they rank Santa Clara University over Cal Berkeley? ok i guess....
This could quite possibly be the biggest joke of rankings I've seen...
The ranking is based on ROI, which is a pretty good idea imo.
Not really, ROI is 15% of the rating, falling just short of the 17.5% allotted to a school's average "ratemyprofessor" rating.

Honestly, this would be a solid paper if for a freshman in college. For a professional publishing/media company however, this is just embarrassing.
Read through the methodology. this is nothing more than a shameless attempt to get $$.
i think this study assumes out-of-state tuition for state schools.
UCLA 55 Cal 70 USC 165
lol is all I have to say
