I just received the inaugural WSJ list of the top schools.  They make a big deal about their methodology and why it was superior to certain unnamed (but probably USNWR) rankings, and how different they were.  

 

All that, and it was the same damned schools that you see in USNWR but in a slightly different order.  This ivy higher that ivy, this engineering school higher than that engineering school.  I thumbed through the hundreds of schools on the list.  I looked at the 4 schools tied for #226.  How is this supposed to help me?  

 

Someone really needs to rank schools by major as determined by undergraduates.
