How to read rankings

The course rank matters more than the overall rank. A college can be average overall and excellent for law.
Each list measures different things. NIRF scores teaching, research, results after graduation, how inclusive a college is, and its reputation.
Small gaps mean little. Ranks 12 and 18 are close; don't choose on a few places.
Not ranked isn't bad. Colleges choose whether to take part, and new or small ones often don't.

Where this comes from
