In my field, rankings are based on a survey sent out to graduates: which university do you think is the best for your degree?

Lost the feeling of prestige I had graduating from a top 5 when I learned that.

I’ve worked in higher ed in a department that controlled application, admission, and enrollment data. It’s a lot more than just surveys; a lot of it is also based on enrollment numbers, admission rates, acceptance rates, average GRE/GMAT/etc.
