What are the criteria for the CC top schools lists?

Newsweek? Opinions? I do apologize if this is listed somewhere.

I think it’s just the Colleges that most people search for or are interested in.

No. There is another thread on this topic. Apparently, it is based on US News rankings.

Not to be difficult, but could you point out that other thread? Or explain the general methodology?

It would appear to be the USNews top 40 or so, minus the Ivies which have their own area.

Well that certainly is quite a shallow list to put it quite bluntly.

It doesn’t seem that far off. I’ve wondered about a couple like BC and SC but it seems more or less right.
