Why is Carnegie Mellon #22: Breaking Down our U.S. News & World Report Ranking

Each fall, as rising juniors and seniors begin to seriously consider where they will apply for college, US News & World Report publishes its rankings of "America's Best Colleges". National rankings are one of many factors that influence, not only where a student decides to apply for college, but ultimately where this student will enroll. This talk will investigate the significance of the US News & World Report College rankings, including the methodology used to produce the rankings. We will specifically consider the implications of this methodology on Carnegie Mellon.
