US News & World Report: The 2024 Best Colleges Rankings
Posted on 9/18/23 at 8:11 am

This year, the annual U.S. News Best Colleges rankings underwent significant methodological changes, including the elimination of five longstanding factors and the addition of several new factors. Those adjustments led to some notable year-over-year position changes, particularly among schools in the middle of the pack.
Despite some opposition to the rankings, the vast majority of schools U.S. News surveyed continued to report data. About 80% of the nearly 1,500 ranked institutions returned their statistical information in the spring and summer of 2023, compared to about 84% last year. This includes 99 of the top 100 ranked National Universities and 97 of the top 100 National Liberal Arts Colleges.

What's New?
In an effort to place more emphasis on social mobility and outcomes, new factors were added to this year's rankings, including first-generation graduation rates, first-generation graduation rate performance and proportion of college graduates earning more than a high school graduate. The definition of social mobility changed this year in the National Universities ranking to include first-generation graduation rates, in addition to Pell-recipient graduation rates.
These new first-generation rankings factors are based on graduation rates of federal loan recipients who entered college between fall 2011 and fall 2013. To be classified as a first-generation college student, neither parent could be on record as attending college, or that information is unknown, based on what families fill out on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA form.

All federal loans or just Pell Grants? If all, this is good.

This should be one of the most important things. Basically ROI. How much does it cost vs return on investment.

SEC fans don’t care about any of this. They only care about football

Should smart and motivated kids be denied a college education because they were born to a poor family and could not afford to go to college with Pell grants?

Quick, name 5 people you know who got pell grants and graduated college. Because I can name 100+ who just went, dropped out, and went to work for UPS. Pell Grants are a massive de-motivator for college students, and we've all seen it in action.

A list where half the schools only care about rankings and the other half don’t cater to the bs criteria.

Want a medal? You went to school for free and passed...like you should have. It's the untold thousands that aren't like you that are the issue.

If a college doesn't have a football team it shouldn't be considered a college.
