College Rankings

Preference-based 2011 college rankings

  • Colleges routinely game the US News and World Report's rankings. Our college rankings are less arbitrary and more meaningful.
  • Based on the revealed preference of thousands of admitted students, we have created a comprehensive, research-based system for ranking colleges.
  • What is the difference between the #15 and the #30-ranked schools from most college ranking lists? It's impossible to tell. With our system, the rankings actually mean something: our college rankings let you see exactly how much the higher-ranked school is preferred over the lower-ranked school.
