College Rankings
If you’re concerned with college rankings (or Car and Driver's comparisons), take a look at Malcolm Gladwell’s “The Order of Things” (New Yorker, February 14 & 21, 2011, pp. 68-75). I think he successfully demonstrates, as he concludes: “Who comes out on top, in any ranking system, is really about who is doing the ranking.”

this is a great post. it's amazing how we don't pay much attention to communication which is the basis of a good life,society and productive organization. i did enjoy your views, very interesting
Hey,
I could not agree more, and wanted to show you this innovative tool we have designed for helping "rank" schools. Instead of providing a generic rank, we let the student decide what matters to them (i.e. acceptance rate, employment after graduation rate, size, etc.) and then show which schools fit their preferences.
Heres the free tool: http://colleges.findthebest.com/
Take a look and let me know what you think. We're trying to provide a free alternative for students to find the best school for them. (And speaking of Car & Driver, we even have a Car Comparison - http://cars.findthebest.com/
I'd love to have a quick talk if your interested, let me know what you think!
