@Penn95 Thank you! Very interesting.
As I have said though, for my requirements, I did not want to use the outcome based rankings, since they don’t measure things that are important to me. I care more about inputs since outcome is based on individual grit, major, company you work for, industry, location etc etc, none of which those rankings control for. I also don’t care for the value based metrics because I’m going to be a full pay student in all probability and my ROI based on my parents investment will be very different.
What I really wanted to get a feel for is which universities do a good job balancing undergraduate learning and research and attract quality students and faculty to their campuses, so I focused on aggregating rankings that would help me with that.
