Sneak preview of this years rankings are out. Looks like US News intends to include withdrawn schools moving forward using past and publicly available information. What are people's thoughts?

Some quick initial thoughts:
Seems like greater emphasis was placed on faculty:student ratio, which I personally think is a nice measure of education quality. Also the inclusion of an NIH grant awards metric for research quality was added. Personally, I'm a big fan of this addition given how shady industry funding can sometimes be. Overall, I think this year's rankings is a step in the right direction. Of course, not everyone will be happy, but the criteria for the survey seems to be shifting in the right direction.

JHU must be having a field day looking at this ranking. Harvard and NYU on the other hand...

Won't be long before NYU puts out a press release stating they've decided to withdraw from the rankings as well.
It's even more ridiculous than it's ever been!
I didn't think that was possible.
