Agree about MSU and OM.
GaTech is also very much underrated due to its STEM focus. Student happiness is also a big factor in the rankings as well as (as you mentioned) drop out rates. Lot's of kids historically flunk out of GaTech due to the rigorous curriculum. I would imagine this impacts schools like A&M and Purdue to name two.
In contrast, all students get A's at the Ivy's/Duke, etc. and thus don't flunk out and are "happy" and satisfied with their college experience.
I don't have a problem with the rankings, it's just the slavish devotion to them by colleges and some applicants.
