<p>Yet another list</p>
<p>The algorithm includes “party scene” as a factor. 'Nuff said.</p>
<p>What a totally opaque write-up of the methodology.

<p>I’ll take Gtown being 15 lol, but seriously, this ranking is even dumber than forbes</p>
<p>Looks like UCLA, Stanford, and Caltech are the only California universities featured in the ranking.</p>
<p>I doubt most care about the number of students who applied to the university. UCLA will likely crack 100k total applicants this year, but i doubt any of those matriculating care about it. Same goes with the total number admitted.</p>
<p>I think that graduation within four years is another dumb part of the criteria (it’s not very high in many universities.) However, i do agree that this is important to many students; if you’re paying 30k a year, you don’t want to pay an additional 30k for a fifth year that the school due to something like core classes not being offered (this isn’t the case at many top schools though.)</p>
<p>Totally seems like a legit website. Definitely not something anyone could have created themselves in less than a day.</p>
