US News自1985年起開始，每年發(fā)布全美大學(xué)排名，逐漸成為準(zhǔn)申請人和家長心中的信得過的品牌和選校紅寶書。

根據(jù)StudentPoll和ACT聯(lián)合進(jìn)行的調(diào)查顯示，在眾多美國大學(xué)排名中，US News占據(jù)重中之重的位置：58%的接受調(diào)查者使用US News的排名，21%使用Princeton Review，9%使用福布斯最佳高校排行，5%使用thebestcolleges.org，另有8%使用其他排行榜。不過US News同樣提出，建議學(xué)生使用最佳研究生院排名作為輔助選擇入讀項目的有效工具，而不是作為下最終決定的唯一因素。唯排名論或許會對申請和入讀造成一定程度的消極影響，建議讀者理性看待排名的價值。RankSchool NameCity#1斯坦福大學(xué)Stanford University Stanford, CA#2哈佛大學(xué)Harvard University Boston,
