Mobile Optimization and Citation
This is a line graph displaying the US News and World Report (USNWR) National University Rankings from 1983 to 2026 for more than 120 universities. If you are viewing this graph on a mobile device, be sure to rotate your device for better readability. If you found this data useful, please leave a “thank you” and be sure to cite me as follows: Meng-Ju Raymond Chuang, “U.S. News & World Report – National University Rankings 1983-2024,” available at https://milestoneadmissions.com/
US News and World Report updates National University rankings around September each year. Also, note that USNWR published its 2025 rankings in September 2024, so a 2025 ranking more precisely means 2024-2025.
Updates and User Requests
Also, look for future updates! I constantly calculate data gained from Common Data Set and implement them in interactive graphs. I am currently working on graphs that compare the freshman and transfer acceptance rates of various top-ranking universities. After I complete this task, I will begin analyzing and presenting data on gender disparities in the acceptance rates of different elite schools.
Upcoming projects: transfer acceptance rates, gender disparity in freshman acceptance rates, gender disparity in transfer acceptance rates, historic departmental rankings.
Lastly, feel free to request graphs of other university admissions or ranking data! I will work tirelessly on further enhancements to make your journey to college a success!
