  Anyone know why NYU ranks 9 points below its USN ranking? Does NYU do worse relative to other T14's in terms of employment outcomes?

  They also take into account relative cost/employment salaries! They just released the podcast today explaining the metrics behind it, and it's definitely worth a listen!

  @thisissparta the rankings are different than the US News ranking. ATL weighs sallary and employment opportunities the most.

  I feel that these are one of the best methodologies since it weighs what is the most important: Can you get a secure, long-term, well paying job.

  Thanks for your reply @akeegs92! I'm aware that their rankings work differently. I was just curious why NYU had the most significant drop (when compared to USN rankings) among all the T14s.

  @thisissparta i listened to their podcast today and I believe they specifically singled out the NYC schools due to the obscene cost of attendance. They did agree that they give great employment opportunities, but they also look at the total cost to the student. As we all know living in NYC is exponentially more expensive than most US cities.

  The difference between GA State and Emory is surprising! Whoa! I certainly thought it would be the other way around.

  That makes sense. Thanks, @slcaldwell82590!
