How Harvard shapes the U.S. News & World Report college rankings
A site called College Consensus aims to knock U.S. News & World Report off its perch as the go-to site for ranking colleges nationwide, mainly by adding student reviews to the process. It also plans to make the site – which is not quite live, although the business’ social media is – interactive, taking a visitor’s preferences and generating recommendations from them.
