<p>Just passing this on ....</p>
<p>As you may be aware -- USNWR provides the basic ranking information for free, and then charges for the expanded data (you either have to buy the magazine or take a subscription on the website.</p>
<p>When I checked it out today, I noticed that through a promotion with Google, anyone who signs up in the next few days can get the expanded service free for 12 months. So, anyone interested can probably save a few bucks.</p>
<p>Thank you, zephyr15!</p>
<p>How did you locate this offer?</p>
<p>What is the “expanded service”?</p>
<p>How did I locate the offer –</p>
<p>Basically went to the USNWR site, and it was right there!!</p>
<p>What is the expanded service?</p>
<p>A lot of the individual school data is ‘locked’ unless are a subscriber. Basically, if you subscribe, wind up with the admissions stats on a lot of places. Saves a few bucks getting it for free</p>
