<p>Yes, the WSJ ranking is a decade old now. Unfortunately, it’s the best we have for that particular component.</p>
<p>How was the methodology discredited, though? Obviously, it’s incomplete, so using that ranking solely would give you an incomplete idea of where schools stand. Using that ranking with the 3 Forbes component rankings, though, gives us 2 rankings of professional success and 2 rankings of academic achievement. Combine them together, and you have something pretty solid.</p>
