Counselors To Help Create School Rankings?
You know those annual rankings of college and universities printed by U.S. News & World Report, generally prestigious but more and more controversial?
Well, it appears the magazine may be on the verge of altering its methodology, and high-school counselors may be thrown into the mix.
At least that's according to the web publication Inside Higher Ed, which is reporting today that U.S. News has sent surveys to about 1,600 high school counseling offices, asking them to evaulate colleges and noting that the results may (i.e., perhaps, but not definitely -- they're taking a wait-and-see approach) be used in next year's rankings.
