<p>You name it, and they will rank a school for it. Take your pick: most selective, least expensive, most graduating athletes, highest freshman retention, prettiest campus, most "wired dorms", happiest students, alumni giving, etc...and each department can be ranked. Number of graduates persuing doctorates, most % to med or law school, biggest endowment, least debt load, etc.....the lists go on forever, and it depends on which list you look at and what things you value.</p>
