<p>They came out Monday, August 16th last year. Does anyone know when they'll come out online this year? Is there usually a countdown before the new rankings are released on the usnews website?</p>
<p>Any Information would be great. I tried looking at other threads, but no one provided an estimated time.</p>
<p>I know you must be curious, but it does honestly matter all that much? Spend your time between now and when the ranking comes out to research about individual colleges you might be interested, and compare them based on what your standards are rather than with what USNews has chosen as their standards. For one, while USNews places a pretty heavy weight on graduation rate in 5 (or was it 6?) years, it doesn’t matter to me at all; thus, the ranking would be less accurate for me.</p>
<p>The 2012 edition of the Best Colleges rankings for National Universities, National Liberal Arts Colleges, Regional Universities, and Regional Colleges will go live on usnews.com on Tuesday, September 13
