<p>Peer Assessment=Grad school reputation </p>

<hr>

<p>I'm carrying this over from another thread that was about the preferred Preferrence Survey. I'd like to hear from the "experts."</p>

<p>"I hope students don’t decide to base their decisions on peer assessment, especially once you get past the no-brainers like HYP. They might think that Arizona St. (PA[Peer Assessment] 3.3) is a better undergrad school than Lehigh (PA, 3.1), or that Arizona (3.6) is just as good as Tufts (3.6).</p>

<p>According to the Peer Assessors: </p>

<p>[1st# USnews peer assessment------- 2nd # USnews actual ranking]</p>

<p>University of Texas (4.1----46)=WUSL (4.1----11)
………[Texas almost = to Rice (4.2----17)]</p>

<p>University of Indiana (3.8----71)=NYU (3.8----32)
………………and is about the same undergrad education as Notre Dame at (3.9----18)</p>

<p>Tufts (3.6/28)=Arizona (3.6----98)</p>

<p>Berkeley (4.8/21)> Cal (4.7----8)</p>

<p>Tulane (3.5/43)almost = to Oregon (3.4----117)</p>

<p>Arizona St. (3.3----120+)> Lehigh (3.1----37)</p>

<p>And so it goes, baby.</p>

<p>Yeah, peer assessment is a genius method to base your school choice on, you may choose Arizona over Tufts even though you qualify for both thinking Arizona offers an equal undergrad education, or Indiana over Notre Dame."</p>

<p>Berkeley is better than Cal? I would say they are about the same.</p>
