Biggest factors in their methodology are admission rate, net cost, retention rate, and graduation rate.

I.e. the strongest influences are selectivity and net cost.

For career outcomes, it is no surprise that the schools not favored by Wall Street and consulting are engineering heavy.

1/3 of Northwestern students are in schools of music, education, communications (which has theater/film) and journalism. Their starting salary are significantly lower than their peers at the colleges of arts & sciences and engineering (music/journalism students make about half of what the engineering grads make even they all have NU diploma). If Northwestern has arts and science and engineering only (like Duke) or replace those four schools with business/nursing schools (like Penn), its “career outcome” would be a lot “better”. This sort of ranking is just plain silly.
