  • 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.

  • College Rankings
    Project Number: IQP-CEW-1401 COLLEGE RANKINGS An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by ______________________________ Xiaoyu Wang and ______________________________ Yifan Zhao Date: May 1, 2014 ______________________________ Professor Craig E. Wills, Project Advisor Abstract Many college rankings exist, each based on a set of factors determined by publishers of the rankings. People considering colleges often use college rankings as a tool to aid them in their search. This project compares the methodology of rankings by organizing the factors of each into six categories. It was found that worldwide rankings have a much higher weighting on research than U.S.-only rankings. In addition a survey was conducted over different demographic groups. From the survey results an ideal ranking was constructed for different groups and compared to existing rankings. All demographic groups examined seek a better mix of categorized factors than any existing ranking provides. ii Table of Contents Abstract ......................................................................................................................................................... ii 1.

  • Quality Indicators for Engineering & Technology Education
    AC 2010-2111: QUALITY INDICATORS FOR ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION Michael Dyrenfurth, Purdue University Mike Murphy, Dublin Institute of Technology Gary Bertoline, Purdue University Page 15.1008.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 Quality Indicators for Engineering & Technology Education Abstract In recent years the development and use of university rankings, comparisons, and/or league tables has become popular and several methodologies are now frequently used to provide a comparative ranking of universities. These rankings are often based on research and publication activity and also not uncommonly focus on indicators that can be measured rather than those that should be measured. Further, the indicators are generally examined for the university as a whole rather than for university divisions, departments or programs. Implicit also is that placement in the rankings is indicative of quality. This paper provides an overview of the methodologies used for the more popular rankings and summarizes their strengths and weaknesses. It examines the critiques of rankings and league tables to provide appropriate context. The paper then examines the issue of how a university (or a college or program) could be assessed in terms of the quality of its engineering and technology programs. It proposes a set of indicators that could be used to provide relative measures of quality, not so much for individual engineering or technology programs, but rather of the university. Introduction & Methodology Today's world, and by all indicators the world of the future, seems to be increasingly competitive [1] and demanding. Resource scarcity, an increasing imperative for efficiency and effectiveness, manifestly more available information and escalating expectations for quality are but some of the factors that have caused universities, colleges, departments and programs to attend to evaluation, accreditation and invariably rankings and comparisons [2, 3].
