Dear Friends, Please be aware that these surveys are actually misleading many students and their parents to shell out huge sums of money for no good return. There are actually many prestigious institutions of higher learning (private and public) in our country that dont even participate in such ratings and I am sure that the day they participate in these ratings they will leave some of the top rated institutions behind. Speak to Alumnus of some good colleges and Recruiters of some big companies before making a decision as to what is good for you. Don't go by what others say...network, talk and mke your own informed decision.
