    2010 US News & World Report Statistics

    As many of you know, I compile and sort the US News rankings every year in an attempt to provide a more user-friendly version for your quick reference. I have sorted the 2010 rankings and you will find them at the link below.

    Please note: This is not an endorsement of the rankings. Rather, I understand the rankings will remain important to some regardless of their ability, or lack thereof, to accurately rank institutions. Therefore, it is good to have an easy way to reference the statistics and comparisons.

    Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

    The rankings include sections sorted by:
    Overall Ranking
    Public Ranking (for public institutions)
    Alumni Giving Rate
    Public Alumni Giving Rate
    Peer Assessment Score
    Avg. Freshmen Retention Rate
    Percentage of Classes with <20>50 students
    Percentage of Faculty who are full-time
    Percentage of Freshmen in the top 10% of HS class
    Acceptance Rate

    The section is indicated by the title in the upper left corner. I hope to do further analysis on the correlations between changes in giving rates and overall rankings and general alumni participation trends when time permits. I will post such findings here.

    Let me know if you have any questions.
