RU ranked #25 out of 132 public universities

[GeorgeStreet]

US News rankings are out for 2018. Rutgers is tied with U of Minnesota, Virginia Tech, and Texas A&M among 132 public universities. Overall RU is #69 among all public and private national universities.

Not good enough... I remember back in 1992. We were #2 for Money magazine's best college buy next to Rice University. US News also only ranked the top 25 colleges. We were in the first tier.

I do work internationally and I can say that we do not use the USN&WR rankings when looking at schools. We are more concerned how a the school ranks internationally and I can say RU fairs well. Singapore Rating is what we use.

Do you have a link to that?

One thing is for sure, RU needs to play the USNWR game much better.
Clemson? Ridiculous.

The top three things that're keeping us out of the Top 20: endowment size, donors as % of alumni, and alumni satisfaction ratings.

You can't do much about the first one, but the other two could swing mightily any given year.

Clemson famously manipulated the rankings and moved from 38 to 22 at light speed. Shuffling kids to improve student to faculty ratio, rating poorly all faculty except Clemson's.

Of course the first 2 are also idiotic metrics to value the quality of education. And the 3rd probably doesn' make all that much sense either, as while it probably correlates, it is a very indirect correlation.

Rutgers Business School has been great for my son, with plenty of Alum in high places for employment.A lot of bang for the buck going to a highly rated State school IMHO

Agree with @Ole Cabbagehead.

But if we flip the script in @17Q66's post and make the third part, alumni satisfaction a priority I bet #1 and #2 go up over time.

How do Pen St and Maryland rank?

They're both ahead of us on most ranking sites but I really don't think the difference is significant.
