<p>What list is overall the most accurate in choosing the best colleges of America?</p>
<p>None. They all have bias of some sort or another. But after looking at all the different rankings, you have a good sense of the relative position of the colleges in the rankings.</p>
<p>After we all give our rankings of the best lists of best colleges, we can rank the lists, and then rank the list rankers.</p>

In my opinion my list is the most unbiased. :)</p>
<p>^A better list IMO is mine. Columbia is higher than MIT? Hmm…</p>
<p>1) Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton, MIT
2) Caltech, Columbia, Penn, Duke, UChicago, Brown, Dartmouth, and Cornell
3) Northwestern, Georgetown
4) JHU, WUSTL, Emory, Vanderbilt</p>
<p>^ It’s definitely the weirdest and ugliest college list I’ve seen in my life.</p>
<ol>
<li>Bemidji State University</li>
<li>Everybody else</li>
</ol>
<p>Bemidji State accounting graduates pass the CPA exam at a higher rate than the state average, and the campus includes a 240-acre private forest.</p>
<p>1) Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Caltech, Columbia
2) Penn, Duke, UChicago, Brown, Berkeley, Dartmouth, WUSTL, Cornell, UMich, NU
3) JHU, Emory, Rice, Vanderbilt, Georgetown</p>
<p>Or, alternatively </p>
<p>1) lesdiablesbleus, sefago, tk21769
2) Alexandre, RML, IvyPBear, UCBChemEGrad, rjkofnovi
3) MrPrince</p>
<p>^Hahahaha. If that’s a rank that ranks people on their ■■■■■■■■ capabilities…then I’m happy to remain in Tier 3. ;)</p>
<p>Criteria Used for this Ranking of ■■■■■■
35% Annoyance
20% Virgin
20% Having no life
15% Irrationality
10% Alma Mater obsession or obsession-of-wife’s-alma-mater</p>
<p>The first tier needs an acronym…hmm</p>
<p>In no order: </p>
<p>1)
Stanford
Harvard
Princeton
Yale
MIT</p>
<p>2)
Duke
Penn
Columbia
Caltech
Dartmouth
Berkeley
Chicago
Brown
Cornell
JHU
Northwestern
