If Harvard is #1, this ranking is invalid. It's all based on endowment, it's as simple as that. It's bullshite

Why does it feel like these rankings are released every other week?

US News rankings are BS FWIW. 1/4 of the ranking score is based on academic reputation which is a survey to all deans asking them to rate every university. One story of how BS it is
quote:

Some years ago, similarly, a former chief justice of the Michigan supreme court, Thomas Brennan, sent a questionnaire to a hundred or so of his fellow-lawyers, asking them to rank a list of ten law schools in order of quality. “They included a good sample of the big names. Harvard. Yale. University of Michigan. And some lesser-known schools. John Marshall. Thomas Cooley,” Brennan wrote. “As I recall, they ranked Penn State’s law school right about in the middle of the pack. Maybe fifth among the ten schools listed. Of course, Penn State doesn’t have a law school.”
