Below are the Washington Monthly's 2009 national university college rankings. We rate schools based on their contribution to the public good in three broad categories: Social Mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students), Research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and PhDs), and Service (encouraging students to give something back to their country)

My school ranks 177. Where y'all at?
 
The predicted grad & actual grad stats throw the rankings off... it rewards schools that have a higher than expected grad rate--even if the actual grad rate is much lower than a school that meets its predicted rate... seems fishy to me... :hmm:
