The Best University Blog Highlights Consus College Rankings

Loading ... Loading ...

 

The Consus Group’s composite college rankings were recently examined on The Best University’s blog:

The Consus Group Composite Ranking is actually quite an interesting ranking, because it takes into account a number of other university rankings, such as US news and the Gourman Report. The ranking the Consus Group created only looks at universities and colleges from the United Sates [sic].

Besides the other rankings that are used, a strong weight is given to selectivity of the university, with which is meant the percentage of candidates that is admitted, combined with SAT scores and ranking in their high-school class.

Furthermore, it is interesting that they look at a very wide group of universities and colleges. For example, also a number of military academies are included, which are often not featured in standard or international rankings.
