<p>Once again, UCLA is the only public schools listed in the ranking. (although i think that’s mostly a combination of its academics + location. This is also why NYU and USC are listed imo.)</p>
<p>The Parents ranking seems to more accurately assess lay prestige (although the schools aren’t necessarily in the right order but more so the list generally speaking). Students just want either HYPSM or the sexiest locations to enjoy their collegiate years at. ;)</p>
