- <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%" align="left">
- <span style="line-height: 200%"><font size="5">As has often (and
- rightly) been pointed out, the best college or university is the one
- that is the best fit for a given prospective student. The school
- with the greatest prestige, the biggest endowment, the most
- resources, the greatest financial aid, the highest achieving student
- body, the highest retention and graduation rates, the faculty with
- the most academic awards and publications, the smallest
- faculty-to-student ratios, and the alumni with the highest average
- salary is not necessarily going to be the best fit for every
- student. (Although that may sound tongue-in-cheek, let not my
- readers take it as such.) </font></span></p>
- <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%" align="left">
- <span style="line-height: 200%"><font size="5">Lists cannot account
- for a number of variables in the equation for determining the right
- fit for a given student. Location (especially proximity to one�s
- home) may be more important to a student�s needs than various other
- assets of high-end colleges. Moreover, any given prospective student
- may thrive more in a less academically competitive environment (the
- big-fish-in-a-little-pond phenomenon). Increasingly in our culture
- there is this factor: A religiously or politically conservative
- student may prosper more and experience much less unhealthy stress
- and hostility in an academic environment (and student body) more
- congenial to his or her own views. (I am speaking as someone who,
- though religiously and politically conservative, did not take that
- route in my student days.) For that matter, a morally weak student
- can be harmed by the sexually loose lifestyle and the one-sided
- left-wing tilt (did I say tilt? I meant pell-mell headlong drive) of
- the vast majority of colleges and universities today, including the
- most highly rated ones. </font></span>
- </p>
- <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%" align="left">
- <span style="line-height: 200%"><font size="5">Many of the best (and
- worst) institutions of the country are increasingly bent on
- restricting the free speech and free thought of those with more
- �traditional� views. Classrooms can become hostile environments and
- social life in such institutions lonely, if one cannot connect with
- groups that share an ideological (moral, religious, political,
- social) affinity. Apart from all this, a potential applicant�s
- presumed major or career objective may dispose him or her to a
- generally less prestigious institution of higher learning that
- happens to be a strong match for his or her set of interests. In
- some cases professors who have not published extensively may spend
- more time both mentoring students and developing teaching skills
- (though there is some correlation between publications and teaching
- content). In short, the �optimal learning environment� can vary
- greatly from one student to the next.</font></span></p>
- <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%" align="left">
- <span style="line-height: 200%"><font size="5">So even if a �best
- colleges� list or lists accurately reflected what were the best
- colleges from the standpoint of a limited set of criteria, it would
- not necessarily pose a <i>fait accompli</i> for the potential
- applicant: �I have to apply to the top schools! I just have to
- apply!� </font></span>
- </p>
- <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%" align="left">
- <span style="line-height: 200%"><font size="5">As it is, lists are
- far from perfect indicators of what the overall best schools are
- (even judged from limited criteria). Lists differ in significant
- ways from each other, depending on what elements a given list
- stresses. Lists that factor in the opinions of others (college
- administrators, alumni, current students) are rampant with
- subjectivity (though a school's reputation cannot be discounted in
- hiring and grad school admissions).

- <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%" align="left">
- <span style="line-height: 200%"><font size="5">Some schools have
- learned how to manipulate rankings through various means ranging
- from outright lying to fudging data (for example, not reporting the
- test scores of international students) or altering data through
- unscrupulous admissions practices (for example, encouraging large
- numbers of students to apply who have little or no hope of being
- admitted, as a means to improving the institution�s admissions

- said, lists of �best colleges� have their benefits (don�t think that
- I didn�t give serious consideration to putting my title�s �top
- colleges� in quotation marks). For all their differences, there is a
- general recognition that some schools typically rise toward the top
- because of name recognition, resources, and overall academic
- quality. A composite list such as the one provided here can minimize
- the biases and idiosyncrasies of any one list. Lists provide a
- general consensus, backed up with some hard data, regarding which
- schools are more likely to provide quality education. </font></span></p>
- <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%" align="left">
- <span style="line-height: 200%"><font size="5">One can�t visit or
- give careful scrutiny to every school. Lists of �best colleges�
- (and, I think, especially this composite list) can help students
- narrow down their search and perhaps elevate their vision of the
- kind of institutions that they might dare to consider. Even though I
- came from a low-income family with little post-secondary education
- experience (neither of my parents completed a college education), I
- found that attending academically high-end schools provided me with
- various benefits that I don�t think I would have received had I
- attended less challenging institutions (fair disclosure: I have a
- B.A. from Dartmouth, a masters from Harvard, and a Ph.D. from
- Princeton Theological Seminary which, incidentally, is not part of

- <span style="line-height: 200%"><font size="5">While being a big

- college ranking (2015) is an �outlier ranking� that puts the

- any given enrolled student as on what schools give back to society.
- This involves three components: (a) Social mobility, defined as
- �recruiting and graduating low-income students� (determined by the
- percentage of Pell grant recipients) at a reasonable price (a
- �cost-adjusted graduation measure� defined as the difference between
- the �actual� and �predicted� graduation rates, divided by the

- the percentage of federal work-study grant money spent on community

- <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%" align="left">
- <span style="line-height: 200%"><font size="5">I had two main
- problems with the list that led me to drop it. First, it was
- difficult to make use of the separate list for liberal arts colleges
- because the five research categories used to evaluate national
- research universities were scaled down to two for liberal arts
- colleges. Even the best liberal arts colleges cannot match the top
- 200 research universities in research expenditure and PhDs awarded
- (and perhaps also faculty awards and academy memberships). Second, I
- had serious reservations about using the
- <i>WM</i> ranking for helping students to assess which are the best
- schools to send an application. Schools that have low graduation
- rates are rewarded over schools with high graduation rates because
- it is easier for the former to exceed a low <i>predicted</i>
- graduation rate. As far as net price is concerned, there is no
- factoring in of the �free ride� that many Ivy League schools offer
- students with family income low enough to qualify for Pell grants.
- Furthermore, why having a larger number of students in ROTC or of
- alumni serving in the Peace Corps makes a school a more attractive
- choice to an applicant is not clear, particularly since such
- involvement will always account for only a small percentage of the
- total student body and alumni. Frankly, there is something wrong
- with a list that rates UCal San Diego first, UCal Riverside second,
- and Texas A&M third among national universities while ranking
- Princeton twenty-sixth, Duke thirty-first, UPenn thirty-seventh,
- Yale forty-forth, Caltech forty-seventh, Columbia forty-ninth,

- <span style="line-height: 200%"><font size="5">As regards <b>how I
- tallied the cumulative scores</b>, I began by dropping a non-ranking
- score (whether because of insufficient data or because the school
- ranked below the list�s limited number of schools); if all lists
- ranked the school in question, I did a strikethrough of the largest
- (i.e. worst) number, the negative outlier. This left nine scores to
- add. If all ten lists ranked the school in question I put that
- cumulative score in parentheses. When a school had a higher (worse)
- number with one dropped list than another school but a lower
- (better) number when no lists were dropped, I generally resolved the

- notice that I first add the two scores from <i>US News</i> and <i>
- College Choice</i>, then multiply by two; for liberal arts colleges
- I then add an additional 30. Why? Both rankings have two separate
- lists for research universities and liberal arts colleges. There is
- no perfect way of merging each of the two lists into one each. For
- research universities I decided to multiply the ranking for a given
- school by two in order to adjust for incorporation into a list that
- also contained liberal arts colleges. For liberal arts colleges I
- not only multiplied by two but also added 15 points to each of the
- two lists. I did so because I found that rankings in a list of
- liberal arts colleges averaged 15.8 points higher (better) than the
- average rating for the same school in composite lists consisting of
- both national research universities and liberal arts colleges. In

- The <i>PayScale College ROI Report</i> offers <i>both</i> an
- in-state rank and an out-of-state rank. I used the out-of-state rank
- in <i>PayScale ROI</i> for ordering public/state universities but in
- each case note as well what the ranking of the given school would be
- if the in-state <i>PayScale ROI</i> rank were adopted. The GCR is
- thus a composite of both rankings that factor in-state net price for
- public universities and rankings that factor out-of-state net price.
- There are good arguments for both methods of evaluating cost. In
- favor of an in-state consideration is the fact that the overwhelming
- majority of students at public state schools are in-state (e.g., at
- UCal Berkeley, 85% of the students are in-state). In favor of an
- out-of-state pricing is the fact that a comparison is being made
- with national private universities and colleges. If public
- universities are to be treated as
- <i>national</i> universities, they ought to be evaluated on an
- out-of-state basis. Potential applicants will be able to get (at
- most) one or two in-state prices for the roughly 50 public
- universities included in this list. It is unhelpful to clutter a
- list with rankings based in part on net prices of which only a tiny

- because the estimates for these expenses at each school vary widely

- <a style="color: #22589B; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none; text-line-through: none" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_and_university_rankings">
- difference in variables</a>. World rankings do not take into account
- a university�s selectivity (which foreign universities don�t
- measure; even if they did, they obviously don�t make use of SAT and
- ACT scores). Nor do they evaluate earning potential (there are
- obvious difficulties in such comparisons across different cultures).
- Instead they typically focus on such things as global reputation,
- the number of articles published by faculty (particularly in top
- science journals) and (to a lesser extent) books, citations of such
- publications globally by other researchers, major awards won by
- faculty (e.g., Nobel prizes, Field Medals in Mathematics), PhDs

- distinct disadvantage in relation to research universities,
- resulting in the former�s rare appearance on world lists. The
- variables also favor universities that have a heavy focus on
- engineering and science, which explains why MIT and Cal Tech beat
- out Princeton. As with some U.S. listings (notably <i>USNews</i>)
- there are complaints about subjectivity in factoring reputation. The <i>
- Times Higher Education</i> (London) did a list jointly with QS (Quacquarelli
- Symonds, also a London-based corporation; they specialize in study
- abroad) from 2004 to 2009 (with QS providing the data), then split
- off from QS because of complaints of too much reliance on subjective
- reputation assessments by QS (surveys of academics and recruiters
- account for 50% of the rating). <i>THE</i> now collaborates with
- Thomson Reuters for data collection (academic reputation still
- accounts for 15% weighting). The <i>THE</i> World University

- a woman and to a woman a man), but also of its oppressive
- intolerance toward those who believe in the importance of sexual
- complementarity for marriage and in the integrity of one�s birth
- sex. Such institutions typically foster a hostile environment,
- equating moral qualms about homosexual practice and so-called

- of speech and thought, religious liberty, and due process. It can
- also surface in practices of coercive indoctrination, shaming,

- <p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="line-height: 200%; margin-right: -.1in" align="left">
- <font size="5"> Princeton is a financial
- aid marvel. In <b>2014-15</b> it ranked <b>an impressive second
- in lowest average net price</b> among the top 133 GCR schools <b>
- for <i>beginning</i> undergrads
- </b>receiving any financial aid (surpassed only by Harvard;
- Princeton was <b>fourth in 2013-14</b>). [This ranking, compiled
- from NCES figures adjusted for standard expenses, does not
- factor in private outside scholarships; when factored in (using
- CDS figures), Princeton ranked first in 2014-15 (but stats not
- yet available for competitors Harvard and Columbia).] Broken
- down into parental salary levels, <b>in 2014-15</b> for
- beginning undergrads it ranked an impressive <b>third for
- incomes $0-$30,000</b>
- (2013-14: fifth), <b>fourth for $30,001-$48,000</b> (2013-14:
- third), <b>third for $48,001-$75,000</b> (2013-14: first), and <b>
- seventh for $75,001-$110,000</b> (2013-14: fourth; compiled from
- adjusted NCES figures). For <i>all</i> undergrads receiving any
- financial aid in 2014-15 (compiled from CDS figures that factor
- in private outside scholarships) it ranked an impressive first
- (stats not available for Harvard and Columbia). As for average

- ranked an impressive <b>first both for beginning undergrads and

- <p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="line-height: 200%; margin-right: -.1in" align="left">
- <font size="5"> As the original no-loan
- college in America, Princeton's<b> average student loan at
- graduation</b>
- for that portion of the Class of 2015 taking out any loans <b>
- was the <i>lowest</i> </b>among the GCR top 139 schools; and <b>
- the percentage of students graduating with debt was also the
- lowest</b> (edging out Yale by a single point). Princeton
- expects
- <b>no parental contribution for families making less than
- $60,000</b> and offers <b>free tuition for families making less
- than $140,000</b>.
- </font></p>
- <p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="line-height: 200%">
- <font size="5"> Princeton�s other stats
- are also amazing. Princeton has <b>the highest endowment per
- student</b> (undergrad + grad) in the nation, the third highest
- per undergrad-only (behind Harvard and Yale), and the fourth
- highest endowment for a single institution in the nation
- (possibly in the world; last year [2015] it overtook Stanford
- but Stanford inched ahead this year). On top of all this,
- Princeton (the second smallest of the Ivies) has <b>the third
- lowest student-to-faculty ratio </b>(behind only MIT and
- Caltech). It also has
- <b>the second highest 6-year graduation rate</b> (behind only
- Harvard), and the f<b>ourth highest 4-year graduation rate</b>
- (higher than all other Ivies, Stanford, MIT, and Duke). In
- addition to its seventh place rank in PayScale�s ROR, it is
- rated <b>third highest (tie) in Mid-Career Salary</b>.</font></p>
- <p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="line-height: 200%">
- <font size="5"> As one might expect,
- Princeton is highly selective and desirable, with the <b>fourth
- highest yield rate</b>
- (68%), <b>fifth lowest acceptance rate</b> (7%), and <b>fifth
- best selectivity (desirability) index</b>. With respect to test
- scores for entering freshmen, it is tied for the <b>fifth
- highest SAT scores</b> (with Writing; eighth without Writing)
- and <b>third highest ACT</b> composite score (6-way tie).
- Perhaps it will be surprising to many that it has the
- <b>ninth highest African-American student representation</b>,
- with only three GCR top 30 schools ahead of it (Amherst, Duke,
- and Vanderbilt; tied with Williams) and tops in the Ivies. The
- only major statistic in which Princeton falls below the top 10
- is in its
- <b>first-year retention rate</b> (just barely: <b>eleventh</b>,
- tied) and even that figure is impressive (97.4%).</font></p>
- <p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="line-height: 200%">
- <font size="5"> The only areas of
- disappointment for conservative-to-moderate students will be
- Princeton�s unfortunate �red light� rating from FIRE for having
- �at least one policy that both clearly and substantially
- restricts freedom of speech� and its selection by �<i>Campus
- Pride</i>� as one of the �Top 25 LGBTQ-Friendly Colleges and
- Universities in 2015� (with a 4.5 out of 5 evaluation). In its
- Orientation Week entering students are forced to sit through

- Wilson's racist views</a> (Wilson was President of Princeton
- before becoming NJ governor and then US President). One of their
- demands was to remove Wilson's name from the prestigious School
- of Public and International Affairs and the first of its
- residential colleges, even though Wilson (in other respects a
- "progressive" of his day) was being honored for his positive
- contributions, not his racism. (A possible inconsistency on the
- part of student protestors: They tolerate the fact that our
- country's capital, which also contains the Washington Monument,
- and the state of Washington are named after a slaveholder.)
- <a href="http://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S44/79/75E24/index.xml?section=topstories">
- Some concessions</a> were made immediately by the administration
- and no disciplinary actions were taken against the occupiers
- (would pro-life or pro-natural-marriage protestors occupying the

- the protestors did not have universal support (see this
- <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/article/427567/princeton-students-push-back-against-politically-correct-intimidation-campus">

- non-Ivy school</b>, Stanford's ratings are quite impressive. <b>
- In three of the rankings lists, Stanford is rated no. 1 </b>(<i>Forbes, </i>
- up slightly from last year's third; <i>Wall St. Journal/Times
- Higher Education</i>; and
- <i>Niche</i>, same as 2016's and 2015's) and in <b>five more</b>
- it is rated <b>fourth</b> (<i>College Choice </i>for national
- universities; <i>College Raptor</i>, same as last year; and
- <i>PayScale ROI</i>, down slightly from last year's third) <b>or
- fifth</b> (<i>US News </i>for national universities and USA
- Today's<i> College Factual</i>, both down slightly from last
- year's fourth). Its <b>fourth</b>-place rank in
- <i>PayScale ROI </i>is highest among the non-tech schools. Its
- two lowest rankings are <b>tenth</b> (<i>Money</i>, down
- significantly from last year's first-place rank; what happened
- in one year?) and a puzzling
- <b>twentieth</b>
- (<i>Kiplinger</i>, a list that emphasizes affordability; up
- slightly from 2016's twenty-first and same as 2015's twentieth;
- perhaps relatively low rating due to Stanford's twenty-fifth
- place student debt rank, in addition to relatively weak
- graduation rates). <i>US News</i> also ranks Stanford #10 in
- <a href="https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/undergraduate-teaching">
- Best Undergraduate Teaching among National Universities</a>. In the GCR composite list of the top six <b>
- world rankings</b> it averages <i><b>second </b></i>in the
- world, behind only Harvard.</font></p>
- <p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" align="left" style="line-height: 200%">
- <font size="5"> A case could be made for
- ranking Stanford just ahead of Princeton this year (last year
- the ranking of Princeton and Stanford was reversed), or at least
- in a tie, since it edges out Princeton in six of the ten lists.
- However, Princeton has the better overall score: 34 (43)
- compared to Stanford's 43 (64). At the same time, a case could
- be made for ranking Yale ahead of Stanford, or at least in a
- tie, since it edges out Stanford in five of the nine lists and
- bests Stanford by one point when the lowest score is dropped
- (but lags behind by two points when all rankings are considered:
- 42 [66]).</font></p>
- <p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" align="left" style="line-height: 200%">
- <font size="5"> Stanford University
- doesn't take kindly to the condescending title of �the Harvard
- of the West� (rather, Harvard is �the Stanford of the East� they
- would argue). It dominates the Western educational landscape in
- a way that Harvard cannot dominate the eastern educational
- landscape, given the plethora of top-rated eastern
- establishments. Aside from the small seventh-place Caltech
- (which competes with Stanford only in math and the sciences),
- Stanford�s closest rival in the entire West is geographically
- distant Rice University (twelfth) and on the West Coast Pomona
- (fifteenth), UCal Berkeley (twenty-second), Harvey Mudd
- (twenty-third), UCLA (thirty-sixth), Claremont McKenna
- (thirty-seventh), and USC (forty-eighth). In other words,
- Stanford has only six competitors on the West Coast in the GCR
- Top 50, just half of which are in the Top 25 and only one of
- which is in the Top 15. This and the beautiful weather help to
- explain why <b>Stanford is ranked as the most desirable school
- in the country to attend, at least as indicated by its lowest
- acceptance rate, highest yield, and thus best selectivity index</b>,
- edging out Harvard slightly (which gets about 7500 fewer
- applications than Stanford for an entering class only 60
- students smaller). </font></p>
- <p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="line-height: 200%; margin-right: -.1in" align="left">
- <font size="5"> As for affordability,
- Stanford ranked an impressive <b>sixth in lowest average net
- price</b>
- among the top 133 GCR schools <b>for <i>beginning</i> undergrads</b>
- receiving any financial aid <b>in 2014-15</b> (third in
- 2013-14). This ranking does not factor in private outside
- scholarships; factored in, Stanford still ranks sixth (but stats
- not available for Harvard and Columbia). Broken down into
- parental salary levels, in 2014-15 for beginning undergrads it
- ranked a truly impressive <b>second for incomes $0-$30,000</b>
- (2013-14: third), <b>first for $30,001-$48,000
- </b>(2013-14: fifth), <b>second for $48,001-$75,000</b>
- (2013-14: sixth), and

- For

- undergrads</b> receiving any financial aid <b>in 2014-15</b>
- (compiled from CDSs that factor in private outside scholarships)
- it ranked an impressive <b>fifth</b> (stats not available for
- Harvard and Columbia). Stanford's <b>average student loan at
- graduation</b> for that portion of the Class of 2015 taking out
- any loans was a surprising <b>thirty-eighth lowest</b> among the
- GCR top 139 schools; the <b>percentage of students graduating
- with debt was the third lowest</b> (4-way tie). Stanford
- expects
- <b>no parental contribution for families making less than
- $65,000</b>, offers <b>free tuition for families earning less
- than $125,000</b>, and offers <b>no-loan financial aid packages
- for all s</b>tudents who receive financial aid.

- <font size="5"> There isn�t much that
- Stanford doesn�t do well in, though it is particularly
- exceptional (top 6) in its student selectivity (noted above), <b>
- first-year retention rate (6-way tie for third), endowment
- (third </b>in the US and third or fourth in the world; fourth
- both per undergrad and per undergrad + grad student), and
- <b>student-to-faculty ratio (perhaps 5-way tie

- strong (seventh to tenth) in its <b><i>PayScale

- with it; <b>ACT: 5-way tie for tenth</b>), and
- <b>percentage of African-American students (only
- thirty-eighth</b>, a point-and-a-half off of Princeton�s Ivy
- League high but vastly higher than California schools

- In terms of <b>affordability</b> for the past several years
- Dartmouth has averaged <b>sixteenth in net price</b> (both when different
- income levels are factored in and when they are
- not). Dartmouth's <b>average student loan at graduation</b>
- for that portion of the Class of 2015 taking out any loans was
- <b>twenty-first</b> among the GCR top 133 schools; the <b>percentage
- of students graduating with debt </b>was only the <b>fifty-first </b>
- lowest (9-way tie). Dartmouth does not have a full-ride
- provision for students whose parents make less than $60,000/yr
- (unlike other Ivies) but it does have <b>a free-tuition, no-loan

- less than $100,000/yr</b>.

- <b>It performs rank-wise "worst" in its absolute endowment </b>

- <font size="5"> In November 2015 there was a startling incident at
- Dartmouth in connection with a �Black Lives Matter�
- protest in which some of the protestors screamed
- profanities at students studying at the main library for
- not joining the protest, bullying them, and blocking the
- movement of one or more students. One administrator
- apologized not to the students who were intimidated and
- verbally assaulted but to the protestors, complaining
- that conservatives were "not nice." The President issued
- an initial tepid school-wide email and only later, in
- response to a media storm, suggested that sanctions
- might be in order for the protestors (I am not aware of
- any sanctions being imposed). The incident
- raises questions about double standards by Dartmouth
- administrators, particularly against moderates and
- conservatives, and whether Dartmouth can be a welcoming
- place for all students. For the story go

- President Hanlon withdrew a job offer to James
- Tengatenga, a bishop of the Anglican Church in Malawi,
- to be Dean of the Tucker Foundation (which oversees

- College) simply because previously Bishop Tengatenga had
- held the historic and orthodox Christian view that
- homosexual practice was sinful; a decade earlier he had
- been critical of Gene Robinson's appointment as the
- Episcopal Church's first "gay bishop." Even though
- Tengatenga now expressed support for "gay rights" and
- even "gay marriage" he could not save his job. The
- College then hired as Director of Religious and
- Spiritual Life of the Tucker Foundation (now

- and colleges. Its best rankings are understandably in lists that
- exclude national universities with graduate school programs: <b>
- first</b> in <i>College Choice</i> and
- <b>second</b>
- in <i>US News</i> (for the latter, same as last year). In the
- other lists, its best ratings are

- last year's tie for ninth), <b>twelfth</b> (<i>Forbes</i>, down

- up slightly from last year's fourteenth), and <b>fourteenth</b>
- (<i>Kiplinger</i>, up from 2016's twentieth and down from 2015's
- eleventh). Its lowest ratings are
- <b>twenty-third</b> (<i>Wall St. Journal/Times Higher Education</i>),
- and <b>twenty-eighth</b> (<i>Niche</i>, up from 2016's and
- 2015's thirty-fourth). <i>PayScale</i>'s<i> Return on Investment </i>
- did not give it a rating this year (presumably for insufficient

- Amherst tenth, ahead of Brown, Dartmouth, and Rice. <i>US News</i>

- <font size="5">Pomona College is our second liberal arts
- college to make the list of top universities and colleges, after
- no. 11 Amherst.
- <b>Its highest ranking is in a list that ranks liberal arts
- colleges only: third</b> in
- <i>College Choice</i>. <i>US News </i>last year had Pomona
- in a tie for fourth among liberal arts colleges only; this year
- it dropped three notches to a tie for <b>seventh</b>. <b>In the
- lists combining research universities and liberal arts</b>
- colleges, its best ratings are
- <b>seventh</b> (<i>Forbes</i>, down from last year's top
- spot) and <b>eighth</b> (<i>College Raptor</i>, slightly up from
- last year's ninth). With one exception all its other rankings
- range from twelfth to twenty-eighth: <b>twelfth </b>(<i>Kiplinger</i>,
- down from 2016's eighth and 2015's ninth),
- <b>fifteenth</b>
- (<i>Niche</i>, up significantly from 2016's twenty-ninth and
- 2015's twenty-first), <b>twenty-first </b>(USA Today's <i>
- College Factual</i>, down from last year's eighteenth), a tie
- for <b>twenty-second</b> (<i>Money</i>, up significantly from
- last year's tie for thirty-eighth), and <b>twenty-eighth</b> (<i>Wall
- St. Journal/Times Higher Education</i>). The exception is a
- dismal tie for the <b>three hundred eighty-second</b> place in <i>
- PayScale</i>'s <i>Return on Investment</i>, a result that may in
- part be due to a very small response rate (only 17 alum
- responding). Its <i>related PayScale Mid-Career Salary</i>
- rank is sixty-second (tie; but data only for all alumni;
- insufficient for bachelor's only). With outlier <i>PayScale ROI </i>
- ranking dropped and compared with other schools with lowest or
- unregistered score dropped, Pomona could rank as high as
- eleventh in the GCR (tied with Brown and ahead of Dartmouth,
- Rice, and Vanderbilt). While I am not inclined to put too much
- weight in this outlier, I also am not inclined to disregard it
- altogether. <i>US News</i> also ranks Pomona #5 (tie) in

- Best Undergraduate Teaching among National Liberal Arts Colleges</a>. </font></p>
- <p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="line-height: 200%; margin-right: -.1in" align="left">
- <font size="5"> In terms of
- affordability Pomona ranks high, with an <b>average net price</b>
- for 2013-14, 2014-15, and 2015-16 of <b>twelfth</b> (when ranks
- across individual low-income ranges is included) <b>and ninth</b>
- (when only averages among all income levels are considered). In
- 2015-16, Pomona's net price ranked no lower than sixth for
- beginning undergraduates receiving any financial aid and no
- lower than ninth for all undergraduates (factoring in assumed
- rankings for Harvard and Columbia where no data is yet
- available). Pomona's<b> average student loan at graduation</b>
- for that portion of the Class of 2015 taking out any loans was
- an impressive <b>third</b> among the GCR top 139 schools
- (though, surprisingly, the percentage of students graduating
- with debt<b> </b>was only in a 5-way tie for thirty-fourth<b> </b>
- lowest). Pomona does not offer a provision for eliminating
- parental contribution to students from low-income families but
- it does provide <b>no-loan financial aid</b> to all students who
- receive any aid.</font></p>
- <p class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="line-height: 200%; margin-right: -.1in" align="left">
- <font size="5"> Relative to its overall
- rank, <b>Pomona performs best in its 4-year graduation rate</b>
- (92%, <b>first</b> in the GCR top 133) <b>and 6-year graduation
- rate</b> (97%, <b>third</b>); its <b>endowment per student </b>
- (sixth; only forty-first in total endowment of 2 billion owing
- to small size); its <b>percentage of African-American students</b>
- as a marker of campus ethnic diversity (8.3%, sixth in the GCR
- and highest by far among GCR schools on the west coast; Stanford
- is almost two percentage points lower); its <b>admission rate</b>
- (9.4%, eleventh), <b>yield</b> (53.7%, twelfth), and <b>
- selectivity</b> (i.e., overal desirability) <b>index</b> (tenth
- in GCR). <b>The only area where Pomona falls considerably short
- of its overall rank is in its mid-career average salary</b>,
- where it ranks only sixty-second (but perhaps not a reliable
- figure due to insufficient response rate).</font></p>
