    Class size is hugely important. How does any metric go from 8% to 0% overnight? I could understand reducing the value of a category (like, from 8% to 5%) but to eliminate it completely? Sounds like a panic move to fill an agenda.

    When I watch your videos and think about the kind of kids you normally help, I always feel horrible about myself and that I can’t get into these top colleges. I know that the Wall Street Journal ranked A&M as Texas’s number one school and makes me feel so much better because I’d like to there and could probably get in.

      Hey Kid, the more research I do on this, the more I find that the colleges, Public and Private, are just brands, like sneakers, purses, or sport franchises. People think that there is a lot of meaning behind the brand, but there isn't. The highly rejective schools (some people call highly selective) have amazing statistics, like graduation rates or outcomes, because they hand-pick the students who already know how to easily graduate from college and that their parents have enough money to insure that even in the event of a financial catastrophe they will have zero trouble paying full price for their education. Texas A&M is a great school with a great reputation. GO FOR IT!

      @brookifyd 8 месяцев назад +3

      Please don't feel horrible about yourself!! You are more than where you go. Rankings are just a metric that has rearranged and filtered data in a particular hierarchy. If anything this shake up shows that there are many parameters we can judge universities by. And there are many successful people out there who've graduated from all sorts of colleges and programs. Life is about more than rank.

      I'm in TexasA&M right now and here is some advice from an Aggie. Don't focus too much on the rankings and look more into the programs and what they offer. Also don't feel bad about the schools that you won't or didn't get into. During highschool, I knew allot of people that did not get into the schools they wanted and are perfectly happy with where they are now.

      Texas A&M is one of three facilities in the nation with an orbital radiation affects lab. They have top flight research going on. Also, engineering internships and employment tends to be local. TI in Dallas is more likely to hire an Aggie than some rando from MIT. After your first job, no one asks about your undergrad school.

    I vaguely remember when Forbes rejiggered its methodology to take account of the number of Pell Grant students and their success, (with UC Berkeley shooting up their list) and many posters made it sound like Forbes had become communist puppy-killers (Forbes!). So I wonder the response to US News rankings. Plus does US News even publish a magazine anymore or does it now solely make fancier versions of "listicles", rating colleges, hospital, etc.?
