It’s college ranking list time again and everyone but those who make them will lament their effect on students and parents trying to make informed decisions about which colleges to apply to and attend. I’m one of those who don’t put much stock in rankings, no matter how “scientific” they are, since the imponderables of college are too great to measure meaningfully. And with students themselves being one of the top imponderables, no matter what the lists say, any indicators of “value” or “success” or “employability” will be strictly based on generalities, not realities. So, caveat emptor.
