Just wondering
I've fallen victim 🤣 thx btwUsually sept. They make slight changes on all their lists so people still buy their magazine but nobody takes it seriously (within reason). Do people really think that Columbia is better than Yale and Stanford (colleges)?
Similarly for med rankings, do people really think Duke and NYU are better than JHU, UCSF, and Stanford?
They change order within tiers so people don’t get bored and still wonder when the new lists will come out.
The Deans use it as a proxy for the size of their d---s.My school 100% takes it seriously, and I was present during a board meeting wherein my Dean had action plans etc. related to the ranking changing negatively.
Maybe they were putting on a show for the big-name donors present, but that was my experience
How much is a negative change though? I wonder if the deans at UCSF, JHU, Stanford lost sleep over Duke and NYU surpassing them in the USNWR or if they know that the editors change it slightly to keep things interesting.My school 100% takes it seriously, and I was present during a board meeting wherein my Dean had action plans etc. related to the ranking changing negatively.
