  • The College Hopes & Worries Survey 2020
    The College Hopes & Worries Survey 2020 Findings ________________________________________________________________________ About the Survey The Princeton Review®, one of the nation's best-known education services companies, has conducted the College Hopes & Worries Survey annually since 2003. Approximately 177,000 people have participated in the survey since its inception. (See end* of this report for numbers of respondents year-over-year.) About 80% have been students applying to colleges; 20% have been parents of applicants. Survey participants have primarily been users of the company's website and readers of its annual Best Colleges book in which the survey questionnaire is published every year. The survey has 15–20 questions, the majority of which have been asked annually or for several years. The questions have multiple-choice answers with the exception of one question, "What is your 'dream' college?" that invites a fill-in-the-blank answer. The 2020 survey findings are based on responses from 12,845 people: 80% (10,276) were students applying to colleges, and 20% (2,569) were parents of applicants. Respondents completed the survey between August 2019 and early March 2020. They hailed from all 50 states and DC. The majority of respondents completed the survey online via outreaches The Princeton Review conducted. Some respondents submitted a paper version of the survey that was published in The Princeton Review book, The Best 385 Colleges / 2020 Edition (Penguin Random House, August 2019). The company awards a $2,000 college scholarship to one survey participant and a Princeton Review book to 25 other participants (all chosen at random). Participants chosen to receive a Princeton Review book were offered their choice of either The Best Value Colleges, Colleges That Create Futures, or Paying for College.

  • College Admissions Process Can Often Be a Top Source of Stress and Anxiety for Students
    October 2018 A “FIT” OVER RANKINGS Why College Engagement Matters More Than Selectivity EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Based on the Challenge Success survey data of more than 100,000 high school students across the country, we know that the college admissions process can often be a top source of stress and anxiety for students. While many schools, counselors, and parents encourage students to focus on finding the “right fit” college, this advice can be difficult to follow without a better understanding of what “fit” means and what matters most — both for learning and engagement in college — and for life outcomes beyond college. This paper reviews and synthesizes key research in order to address many of the important questions and concerns we hear from students, parents, and schools about the college admissions process: What do college rankings really measure? Are students who attend more selective colleges better off later in life? What is “fit” and why does it matter? What the research shows: RANKINGS ARE PROBLEMATIC. Many students and families rely on college rankings published by well-known organizations to define quality. The higher the ranking, the logic goes, the better the college must be and vice versa. We find that many of the metrics used in these rankings are weighted arbitrarily and are not accurate indicators of a college’s quality or positive outcomes for students. COLLEGE SELECTIVITY IS NOT A RELIABLE PREDICTOR OF STUDENT LEARNING, JOB SATISFACTION, OR WELL-BEING. We explore the research on whether attending a selective college predicts important life outcomes and find no significant relationship between a school’s selectivity and student learning, future job satisfaction, or well-being.

  • The Stability of US News' Ranking System Robert Daly
    1 Running to Stay in Place: The Stability of U.S. News’ Ranking System Robert Daly, University of California, Riverside Anne Machung, University of California, Office of the President Gina Roque, University of California, Riverside Abstract The ranks of most national universities in the annual U.S. News “America’s Best Colleges” have not changed significantly during the past eight years. This is true even though most national universities have spent considerable resources and energy trying to improve their ranks. In this paper, we document the stability of the national universities’ ranks since 1999, describe how a few private universities have been able to improve their ranks, and discuss whether or not these techniques can be used by other colleges and universities, especially public ones. Introduction: In 1983, U.S. News published its first rankings of colleges and universities, and except for 1984 and 1986 has ranked colleges and universities every subsequent year.1 The 1983 and 1985 rankings were based on academic reputation alone, but in 1987 U.S. News reduced the weight of academic reputation to 25% of its total score, and introduced a series of other measures which it combined into a single quantitative formula. The formula worked. U.S. News rankings have been enormously successful, so much so that they have spawned a whole cottage industry of emulators and competitors – the Washington Monthly rankings, TheCenter rankings from the University of Florida, Maclean’s rankings of Canadian universities, the TimesHigher Education Supplement’s rankings from London, and from the Institute of Higher Education at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China a list of the top 500 universities in the world.

  • PBPL 5: INTRODUCTION to PUBLIC POLICY Winter 2016 Term—Rockefeller 003
    Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and the Social Sciences Dartmouth College PBPL 5: INTRODUCTION TO PUBLIC POLICY Winter 2016 Term—Rockefeller 003 Professor Ronald G. Shaiko 10: MWF 10:00-11:05am 204 Rockefeller Hall X-Hour: Thursday, 12:00-12:50pm Tel: 646-9146 Office Hours: MWF 12:00-2:00pm Email: [email protected] and by appointment Course Philosophy: Public policymaking in the United States is characterized by scholars and politicians in a wide variety of ways. For some, public policy reflects “the authoritative allocation of values;” while others see the policymaking process from a more bottom line perspective—“who gets what, when, and how.” Still others have incorporated the overtly political nature of public policy by referring to the process as “partisan mutual adjustment,” and have acknowledged that public policymaking involves trade-offs and, at times, less than optimal policy outcomes—“satisficing.” Those who make public policy in the United States often wrestle with normative questions of what constitutes the “best” policy outcomes for the most people as they strive to reach the right balance between government intervention and citizens’ rights to “the pursuit of happiness.” James Madison clearly stated in the Federalist Papers that “if men were angels, no government would be necessary.” Unfortunately, citizens of the United States are not angels and, as a result, must be constrained in their self-interested pursuits. Public policy—influenced by economics, psychology, sociology, philosophy, political science, and religion—reflects the aspiration of creating a society in which its citizens behave in a way that reflects the broadly agreed upon societal norms and values, but also the day-to- day rules and regulations established by governments at all levels.

    Featuring an analysis by: Stanley B. Greenberg The Battle for Working People Begins with Government Reform with a Roundtable Discussion by: Ed Kilgore Ruy Teixeira and John Halpin John Judis Mark Schmitt Joan Walsh Karen Nussbaum Richard D. Kahlenberg Andrew Levison John Russo Jack Metzgar with a welcome by Ed Kilgore and Andrew Levison Welcome to the second white working class roundtable, a project of The Democratic Strategist in collaboration with the Washington Monthly. The first white working class roundtable, held in June 2014, brought together 15 leading pro-Democratic strategists and observers to discuss the subject of “progressives and the white working class” and had a very significant effect on the national debate regarding the white working class vote that emerged after the 2014 elections. The roundtable was directly cited by Thomas Edsall in The New York Times, E.J. Dionne in The Washington Post, Noam Scheiber in The New Republic, Kevin Drum in Mother Jones, Jamelle Bouie in Slate and was cited by many other commentaries that used data and quotes drawn from the contributions to the June 2014 roundtable discussion. As a follow-up to this debate, The Democratic Strategist published an in-depth review of the post-2014 discussion in December, 2014. It is available HERE.i The present White working class roundtable is organized around a provocative strategy paper by leading opinion analyst Stan Greenberg that is entitled, “The Fight for Working People Begins with Government Reform.” Stan’s analysis, which also appears in the June issue of the Washington Monthly, is discussed by a distinguished group of progressive thinkers including Ed Kilgore, Ruy Teixeira, John Halpin, John Judis, Mark Schmitt, Joan Walsh, Karen Nussbaum, Richard Kahlenberg, Andrew Levison and others.
