But, sir! The new Forbes' ranking is out, and Columbia is in fact ranked 43 or so! I only added the "wtf?" comment because the ranking is an anomaly considering the school's strength and achievements. In fact, it dropped 30 spots from Forbes' last ranking. The methodology that Forbes' employs, moreover, is largely subject to question: how is it possible that ~40% of the score comes from RateMyProfessor.com (when top schools employ their own evaluation procedures), Who's Who (not reliable, hardly scientific), and PayScale (a self-reported website)? I say Forbes' opinion should be discounted for the colleges specified at Wikipedia.

As I said on my talk page, I don't have an opinion on what you should do about that Forbes ranking, I only reverted it due to the "wtf", which doesn't belong in the article space. MrChupon (talk) 06:01, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
