About this listen

Stuart is back! And he thinks US News rankings aren't worth a hoot. Jed tries to play the Devil's advocate, but in the end, they both conclude that no one should pick one school over another school based on any college ranking scheme, except if it is just a quick-and-easy substitute for another metric. One example is how the US News college ranking is a decent substitute for figuring out how much schools have in their endowments. Choosing a school with a bigger endowment is always better, according to Stuart, since it means the school with the bigger endowment will last longer than schools with really small endowments. Listen as Stuart and Jed pull no punches on college rankings!
