How to use this ranking.

Start with the overall list, then compare cost, majors and campus life. If two colleges have overlapping rank ranges, look at what matters to you before choosing between them.

What the rank does not tell you.

The weights reflect Spike’s priorities. A higher overall rank does not mean a college is a better fit for every student.

Spike ranks the colleges in its guide, not every college in America. Read the full method and its limits, or compare colleges by your own priorities.

What Spike does with this

A ranking is where to start looking.

Spike checks each college against your grades, budget and goals. Then it helps you build a list that holds up.
