Many aspiring college students invest a significant amount of time and effort striving to get good grades and excel in their extracurricular activities so that they may gain admission to the best universities.

Gaining admission to the most prestigious universities may feel to students like an acknowledgement of all the hard work they put in and validation of the talent and potential they have.  

Earning a degree from a top university may lead to better networking and career opportunities in the future. This is especially true in the field of finance but also applies to most professional and academic careers.

So how do you choose the best university to attend?

In the past, most people used the US News and World Report rankings to decide what were the “best” schools to attend. But what if you spent all that invested time and energy to attend a school that US News said was higher ranked, but that relatively few people knew about or regarded as a selective, prestigious university?

Furthermore, the accuracy of the US News college rankings is questionable. It is well known that some universities have tried to influence the US News rankings in their favor, and some have withdrawn from the US News rankings entirely. Many have argued that an alternative way of ranking schools is needed.

Rankordered.com uses a different approach. By crowdsourcing public opinion and using the Elo algorithm, accurate, real-time rankings can be created to help people make better decisions, showing what is the “real deal”, and what is overrated. One can even see the impact of current events on brand reputation in real time. Complementary, and perhaps superior to, rankings based on expert opinion, this system can be applied to colleges as well as all items of cultural importance.
