Fall 2010 Kaplan/Newsweek 鈥淔inding the Right College for You鈥� guide was released on Sept. 13. This is the first year the publication has ranked colleges and universities.
The publication鈥檚 12 ranking categories were tailored to address concerns of prospective students and their parents, according to a press release. The categories cover areas including academics, social life, school size and location, and diversity.
Colleges and universities in the rankings had to meet three criteria:
- The school must be listed in one of the three leading college guides 鈥� Fiske鈥檚 Guide to Colleges, the Princeton Review鈥檚 Best 371 Colleges, and the U.S. News & World Report鈥檚 America鈥檚 Best Colleges.
- The school must have high academic standards 鈥� 聽schools in which the 75th percentile SAT score for the incoming freshman class is 1,150 or higher or 75th percentile ACT score of 25 or higher.
- Offer a range of different degrees.
The 鈥淢ost Desirable鈥� category was based on academic credentials of admitted applicants and quality of academic and non-academic experience at the school, the release states. Other factors in the rankings included the school鈥檚 retention rate, student-to-faculty ratio, school鈥檚 endowment and a student opinion survey conducted by College Prowler that rated the student鈥檚 views of dining, housing, and the school鈥檚 facilities.
