Abstract | Utilizes principal-component regression analysis to examine the relative contributions of 11 ranking criteria used to construct a periodical's tier rankings of national universities. Although "U.S. News & World Report" assigns the greatest weight to academic reputation, enrolled students' average SAT scores constitute the most significant ranking criterion.
