USNEws and World Reports is a subjective ranking whereby each school fills out a questionnaire on their peer institutions..subjective at best. But I agree that acceptance rate is a poor indicator. Go to Princeton review and look at the academic rating for each school. Much more objective. Also, ASU is NOT a strong academic school. Cant believe you would even use it in the same posting as the Stanford, UVA and the others
Even the Princeton Review is subjective but a more comprehensive look at a school. Acceptance rate is considered right here on the first page, even on the Princeton Review.
