Complete USNews 2003 Medical School Rankings?

[JerBear]

The complete Med School Rankings were posted up a while ago. I was wondering if anyway has either the link to the old post or the complete rankings somewhere on their computer. We must resume our scam and undermine USNews's evil plot to make $$$ and sell more magazines ! Thanks!

Thanks Eduardo!! I was hoping someone had the complete rankings with stuff like NIH funding, reputation among residencies, tuition, etc.

Sorry for being so anal!

you can still see the names of the ranked schools, you just can't see any data on them.

they are here:
<a href="http://www.cormani.net/jot/updatearchive/updatecontent/usnews.xls" target="_blank">http://www.cormani.net/jot/updatearchive/updatecontent/usnews.xls</a>

you have to right click on the link at say "save target as" and then change the file association to "all files" and add a ".xls" to the end of usnews again. i somehow sent it in ascii for some reason. it works though! and you and sort by title like the usnews version can. enjoy.

Have you guys looked at the methodology for the primary care rankings?? It's freaking ridiculous. It's like that M&M commercial with the baby choosing the new color with the monks--random. So basically the only factor in the primary care rankings that bears any witness to the reality of a school's reputation is the "assessment score by residency directors". Here's the methodology, from <a href="http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/about/03med_meth.htm:" target="_blank">http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/about/03med_meth.htm:</a>

"Residency program directors were also asked to rate programs using the same 5-point scale. The response rate for those sent the research survey was 33 percent. Because we experienced problems with both the size and composition of the respondent group for primary care, and because the relationship between the peer and residency director assessment scores varied inordinately, and not systematically, from that observed in previous years (and from the same relationship for research medical schools), we used residency director scores calculated from the survey conducted in the fall of 2000."

So basically, this information is not only 3 years old (because the data meant nothing last year), but we are not told a. how many directors there were total, or b. what residency programs they directed. I think the fact that only 33% of the surveys they sent out got returned speaks volumes about the illustrious rankings.

Great observation Panda01!

The lesson is: don't make your decisions based on a ranking system that's both flawed and that you have to pay for. You're not buying a toaster.
