Columbia should not be ranked 2nd in US news college rankings

Maybe rankings should be organized through preferences of applicants admitted to several schools.

He is a full professor and this article, although critical of Columbia's push to improve its ranking, is dry and lacks hot-button topics.

I took a class with Northwestern's last president Morton Schapiro. He admitted that the school lies about standardized test numbers in one of the lectures. Can't say it was too surprising. It seems like every school in the top 50 is claiming that at least 25% of their students get 34+ on the act.
