Rather than cross-post multiple times, Forbes uses completely different methodology and this year put Columbia higher than all other Ivy’s, except for Princeton:

Columbia now Unranked by USNews

A new twist is added by Forbes, which uses completely different criteria - and kept its criteria the same from last year to allow for direct comparison. It reaffirms Columbia’s high ranking. Columbia comes in #5, after Princeton, but before the rest of the other Ivy’s. One reason is the higher retention rate (which had dipped significantly at other schools), and the higher fraction of Pell recipients.
