5 reasons not to take college rankings seriously

By Alliance Alert

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Consumerist: "1. College rankings are often based on opinion and not actual data . . . 2. Rankings can be based on factors that have no demonstrated impact on academic results . . . 3. The benefits of attending a more selective college might very well be canceled out by the benefits of attending a less selective college . . . 4. Rankings that look at career earnings fail to consider the aptitudes of students . . . 5. Real experts -- as opposed to people trying to sell magazines full of car ads -- who look into this stuff have realized you can't compare colleges in any meaningful way."
