Facts may trump rankings in college choice marketplace - Jarrett Carter, Education Dive
Marketing consultant John Gann Jr. says that colleges and universities that do not rank high in lists like those published by U.S. News & World Report can make a public case of comparison with key performance data from listed institutions.
