Our New Grad School Rankings Are Online

No access to the data

Since US News isn't publishing average GRE scores for the majority of its rankings, one can only assume they don't have them. Which makes the $15 you spend to get the Premium Online Edition a total waste of time.

I could have just as easily asked five friends what they think of five Economics schools, and bought myself five Big Macs instead of this Premium Edition.

Someone at Barrons tell them to get back in the business, US News has gone weak.

Course wise Compareason of grad schools

While going for finalising the US unversities for applying the MS (engineering courses)it's very difficult to know which university provides what grad programme for MS

SO IF THERE IS ANY ULTERNATIVE TO COMPARE THE UNIVERSITIES PROGRAMME/COURSEWISE ON THE US-NEWS WEBSITE WOULD BE BETTER.

Rutgers University.

Why does Rutgers, especially its Pharmacy and Engineering programs, rank so low with your publication while others give it the credit it deserves? Both schools are extremely well regarded around the nation, yet US News always gives them the shaft, (and don't get me started on the undergrad rankings....Rutgers #64??? C'mon!)

Rankings for Online Schools

After looking at your rankings listed for the graduate MBA and law schools, there are the obvious standard schools that always rank in the top 10 being Harvard, Yale, Duke, etc. but it seems to me that there are no rankings for the schools that many of us commoners would attend-I'm specifically referring to affordability and availability.

In particular, I am referring to so many of these new online-degree programs.

I have a BS degree from the University of Nebraska Omaha, and have been looking for employment for quite some time. Ironically after six months of not being employed, I made a decision to go to graduate school, and wouldn't you know it a full-time job appears.

I am thankful to have the work, but now I am forced to pick an online degree-option due to my lack of hours available in my schedule.

After viewing many websites, I have found myself having to take a crash course on the accreditation of post-secondary schools.

Many schools are accredited and by what means are these schools accredited?

It appears that many of them are accredited by several different standards and there are various agencies that are doing the accrediting as well. It is much too complex and confusing for us returning-to-school working professionals.

Where is the stream-lining of these standards for our colleges and universities as it seems the top rankings are based on money and prestige.

Acceptance Rate

I agree with an earlier comment that states that some of the critiques of the USNWR rankings are frivolous, but I must admit that I think the acceptance/rejection rate criteria is one of the stupidest. Here's why: I think the schools are capable of artificially inflating their rejection rates. I don't know how much of a difference stories like mine make, but I know others who experienced the same, so I'm certainly not alone.

I'm going to start a biosciences PhD program this Fall 2009. I applied to ten schools, primarily out of a paranoid fear that I wouldn't get into any. My top three choices were Harvard, Stanford, and UCSF. Harvard's program is unique in that they admit you without an interview, and the admissions decisions are made in January of the year of entry. January is earlier than the interview at most of the other programs. Soon after my admission to Harvard, I was also admitted to UCSF (which interviews earlier than most schools and makes its decision quickly afterward).

Since I was safe at two of my top three choices, I decided to tell some of the other schools to withdraw my application from the pool of applicants and take no further action. I did this for five schools, essentially rejecting them before they had made a decision. But in the end they still ended up sending me rejection letters.

I'm not absolutely certain, but it seems to me that this is done for the sole purpose of making their schools seem more competitive. They were able to add my rejection letter to their tally of overall rejections, but in doing so they completely ignored the fact that I told them that I wasn't interested anymore.

I guess the point is that all these rejection and admissions statistics should be taken with a grain of salt, as they might not represent real rejections. UCSD is a wonderful school, and thought I can't be certain, I think I probably would have been admitted considering that I was admitted to my top three choices. But I turned them down, they STILL sent me a rejection letter, and now they can claim me, falsely, as another casualty of the fierce competition to get into their school. Seems unethical, and not worthy of being a criterion for rankings.
