A new report entitled “College and University Ranking Systems, Global Perspectives and American Challenges” was released by the Institute for Higher Education Policy. This report is in 3 parts including a historical review of the US News rankings, a review of university rankings from around the world and an evaluation of the effect the various rankings have on students choices of colleges.
This report provides a good overview of the rankings systems and the effect they have had on higher education. If you are just starting the search for the right college and believe that rankings have a place in that search, you might want to start with this report to get another view on the ratings.

I found this cool program online at acceptedge.com that helps you narrow down your school choices based on personal interests in addition to test scores and GPA. Kind of an interesting way that’s helping me focus my applications.
