A number of medical schools, including Columbia, Stanford and Penn State, have followed Harvard's lead and withdrawn from U.S. News & World Report medical school rankings.

The schools have all offered similar explanations, arguing that the criteria used to generate rankings do not reward the best learning environments and that its preferences are overly influenced by the prestige and wealth of schools.

It comes just two months after Yale Law School pulled out of the U.S. News law school rankings, which it had topped for 32 years, saying that the list discourages financial aid for low-income students.

the ranking system creates 'perverse incentives' for schools to submit misleading data to boost their positions and to divert financial aid away from those with financial need to higher scoring students.


And this, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the reasons we have been seeing a marked decline in the quality of new doctors, coupled with an inability to think outside the box or use their common sense (if they have any) to treat their patients. Clearly, it's more important to check the right demographic/pc boxes than accept the best qualified candidates.
