I personally think ranking Uchicago that high is irresponsible on us news's part. Uchicago is kind of niche, very rigorous, and very academics focused - it doesn't even have an engineering program, and it'll cause a lot of ppl who shouldn't be apply to apply. Also, Uchicago has 3 ED rounds, which is downright predatory. If Uchicago was truly the sixth most desirable school, it wouldn't have to entrap 80% of it's students in ED rounds. This ranking is rewarding bad practices and i don't see this ending well/

U.S. News converted each school's citation per publication value to a percentile distribution between 0 and 200 before normalizing. This was done to minimize the effect of outlier values in the rankings on a statistic that has a lot of compression. Otherwise, a difference of only a couple thousand publications or citations among the best and worst performing schools on this factor had a disproportionate impact on the rankings.

The reporting standards in U.S. News' survey aligned with definitions from the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) for the 2024-2025 academic year. A change in instructions for this edition was schools were to report visiting faculty based on their named ranks instead of always as instructors because some institutions assign "visiting" titles to faculty members holding other types of non-tenure-track appointments. U.S. News aggregates across ranks its faculty counts and cumulative salaries.

Its largely the same blurb as last year except the part i crossed out is what they removed this year:
This indicator of added value shows the effect of the college's programs and policies on the six-year graduation rate of students by comparing it with a predicted graduation rate calculated using a multivariate regression. In effect, the measure assessed how well schools graduate students after controlling for spending per student, the proportion of undergraduates receiving Pell Grants, standardized test scores and high school class standing of entering classes. The proportion of
undergraduates who are first-generation college students, sourced from College Scorecard, was removed from the formulas based on clarification from the Education Department about the limitations of the College Scorecard data in some cases. But the proportion ofscience, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, degrees out of the total degrees granted was a variable used to calculate the predicted graduation rate for each school in the National Universities ranking category only.

Pell Grant graduation rates: To calculate this, U.S. News started with an entering class of full-time, first-year, bachelor's degree-seeking students who were awarded Pell Grants, and calculated a bachelor's graduation rate based on the count among that cohort who completed their degree program within six years. Because achieving results from a broader base is more challenging, this graduation rate was summed with the proportion of the entering class awarded Pell Grants, capped at 0.5 because U.S. News' analysis demonstrated the relationship did not persist beyond its student body being comprised of 50% Pell students.
so they are also adding a cap on how much a school can benefit from pell grant grads

do u guys want ur rankings results sheet ordered by the actual ranking or the rank you put it in
like if this was you would it be easier for you to read if it was ordered in the current order (us news order) or instead as stanford mit harvard princeton (the way you guessed the order would be)
i might try to do more public data results but i want options for people who either opted not to share publicly or just want a drilled down version of thier data

rank we put it in

JHU is also good at IR
It’s funny cuz JHU’s best majors are in stuff that it’s inherently niche. International relations. Biomedical engineering. Writing Seminars. lol. meanwhile I think stuff like cs and econ get shafted a bit
Uchicago shouldn’t be at 6. They take 80% of their students in early rounds it’s criminally unfair
sand yew
They're surprisingly good at physics and some engineering
Physics is decent here astrophysics here is actually goated tho. (We don’t have an Astro major tho)
wraith cobalt
thought i was making such good progress and realized im not even 1/3 done with grading

also it seems like the numbering thing that would happen on ties like this was only a discord issue bc when i exported to csv all of the numbers matched what everyone inputted
so like for that one it says 3 for both stanford and harvard on the csv
Interim Scoring Update
After 19/59 entries scored:
- the lowest (aka best) score is 92. 32 points were given through the schools this person ranked, but 60 points (20 per school) were added for the 3 that made the t20 that they didnt rank
- no one has correctly guessed all 23 schools even when disregarding which order they put them in
- no one has correctly guessed caltech's new ranking
- only 1 person correctly guessed uchicago's new ranking
- the longest streak of correct guesses is 4 (rankings 1-4). 3 people currently have this streak
- the most barely missed guess is yale. @south sinewis the only one so far who got it correct, 12 people missed it by 1, 2 people missed it by 2, and 4 people missed it by 3 or more
