9月9日,US NEWS发布了2016年全美最佳大学排名与美国文理学院排名,这一排名,又为各位在院校选择上还没有定论的同学和家长带来了新的讯息。
在2016年排名中,US NEWS收集了1800所大学的数据,其中1376所大学被按照以下指标权重进行排名:本科学术水平声誉(22.5%),学生保留率(22.5%),师资资源(20%),生源质量(12.5%),财政资源(10%),毕业率(7.5%),校友捐赠率(5%)。
榜单内容主要包括:综合型大学、文理学院、地区性大学和地区性学院,以及部分其它排名“最具创新性大学”、“最具性价比大学”等。但是对于广大中国学生来说最具有参考性的依然是综合型大学、文理学院这两个排名。
先来看看以下2016美国大学综合排名top100的变化与2016年申请难度分析:
常青藤学校全部回归Top15,前五位大学排名没有变化,位于新泽西州的普林斯顿再次夺冠。美国大学排名Top10中唯一有变化的是宾夕法尼亚大学,从去年的并列第8滑落至第9。位于马里兰州的约翰·霍普金斯大学向前跃升了两位,跻身2016年美国大学排名榜前十,和加州理工大学并列。
加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校、加州大学圣地亚哥分校、加州大学戴维斯分校这几所加州系统的学校每年排名交替变化。但近几年录取难度上,依然是加州大学圣地亚哥分校>圣塔芭芭拉>戴维斯。加州大学欧文分校进入美国大学排名Top40完全拜中国学生所赐,大量招收中国学生抬高了它的排名。
Top36-50:这个区间的美国大学排名变化很小。事实上,这15所学校是申请美国留学竞争异常激烈的一个区间。为什么?首先,国内有为数众多的申请者硬件成绩可以达到托福95+,SAT1950+,正好与这个区间的学校录取要求完成匹配。其次,这些学校也是不少中国学生的Dream School,特别是其中每年接收大量中国留学生的美国公立大学。最后,很多以冲刺美国大学排名Top35为目标的学生会将这一层次的学校当成保底,这使得它们的申请难度提高不少。今年,杜兰大学跻身这一梯队,并且排名有大幅度增长。但杜兰的申请难度预计也不会比美国大学排名榜Top50之后的华盛顿大学或德州大学奥斯汀分校高太多。
2016美国大学排名榜升幅最大的学校之一,是南伊利诺伊大学卡本代尔分校,它从并列189名上升到了并列153名,先前跃升了36位。伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校也飞跃了不少,从并列149名上升到了129名。

从2015年美国各高校官网公布的录取数据统计来推测,近两年来美国大学排名榜单top50的学校本科新生录取率呈现逐年递减趋势。这就意味着不仅2016年度的申请情况会更加严峻,同时国际学生中的中国学生录取难度也将更上一层楼。
