"Changes to the rankings methodology this year include the introduction of two outcome measures pertaining to graduate indebtedness, for a total of 17 factors. To make room, we gave less weight in the rankings to SAT/ACT scores, high school class standing and alumni giving rates. "

"This year's edition includes several updates to the Best Colleges methodology that address important issues directly impacting students and their families. These new measures look at timely topics such as student debt, social mobility, and test-blind admissions policies. In this edition, U.S. News:

Added two ranking indicators measuring student debt. Affordability is often a primary concern for college applicants, as student loan debt can have long-lasting impacts. To provide more data in this area, U.S. News added two new ranking indicators: 1) the average amount of accumulated federal loan debt among full-time undergraduate borrowers at graduation, and 2) the percentage of full-time undergraduates in a graduating class who borrowed federal loans.
Increased the weight of outcome measures. Resulting from the new graduate indebtedness indicators, outcomes – which also include graduation and retention rates, and social mobility – now account for 40% of the Best Colleges methodology, up from 35% last year. The weights for SAT and ACT scores, high school class standing and alumni giving were reduced.
New weights and indicators applied to Historically Black Colleges and Universities ranking: For the 2021 HBCU ranking, U.S. News also applied the changes made to the overall rankings, including adding the two graduate indebtedness indicators and reducing the weights for student excellence and alumni giving.
Ranked test-blind schools. Schools that do not make use of SAT or ACT scores in their admissions process are now included in the rankings, having previously been listed as unranked. While schools still widely accept SAT and ACT scores from applicants, a number of schools have either temporarily or indefinitely discontinued accepting these scores."

I don't see this as a positive at all. There are some decent nuggets, but a 170 national rank is disappointing. After all these years of trying to improve the school's standing and reputation, our ranking hasn't materially changed at all. We are not even close to the ranking you would hope us to be. We are just above median among national universities. Fordham is ranked 66th. Yeshiva 76th. Stony Brook 88th. Seton Hall 133rd. Hofstra 160th.

We are tied with Adelphi at 170. Why wouldn't we be at least within 100 spots of Fordham? The academic reputation of St. John's is subpar and the administration and the Board just never seems to care. Under Harrington they didn't even acknowledge this and would lie about how great a reputation we have, so at least now there is some acknowledgement and truthfulness,and I believe some effort to improve things. But we haven't done nearly enough and the results remain poor. Class sizes are too large, admissions standards are too lax, and the majority of our students who are top notch suffer from the institutional lethargy regarding our reputation.

Some of the grad programs remain strong, but undergrad is a different story. We focus on quotas instead of the best students. That's why this is happening. Diversity is great, but the problem comes when you prioritize that over actual academic standards. That's what appears to be happening here. At Marist, students mostly took their academics seriously and it was "cool" if you were a good student or tops among your HS class. At SJ I just don't see it. Obviously I'm not in undergrad students' minds, but it just seems to be "get my degree just getting by and go home" type attitude. Many of the undergrads at SJ come from families where they are the 1st to attend college. This is not the case at more competitive schools. Tough balance, but we have to do better and we can do better.

Obviously you would like SJU to be more selective academically in order to raise its ranking. If we became more selective we would have to deny admission to large numbers of underprivileged applicants, which would be counter to our mission to help educate poorer students. If we shrunk the size of classes and students admitted, we'd have to lay off hundreds of teachers and administrators to make up for the shortfall. I don't think our top students suffer much at all by less academically qualified peers. JSJ is on the board of Tobin school of business and is more qualified to speak to this.

There has never been a movement such as the one Northeastern engaged in, to raise the academic ranking of the school. We do have the extremely academically College of Allied Health Professions, which is very competitive to get into. Our law school attracts top students from all over the country.

In short, I think if this was an objective, to become a top 50 school, it could be achieved over the course of 15 years or so. I don't think that was ever the end goal.

Our mission is sorely outdated and should not be used as a crutch to accept low academic standards. And we can stay true to our mission and have higher selectivity if we focus on the right things. Foremost should be minimum academic achievement regardless of income level. If someone cannot average a B in high school, meaning they probably are in the bottom 1/3rd of their high school class with other students in similar socio-economic levels, then they shouldn't be admitted to St. John's because the school thinks it needs more low income students. Not too long ago, SJU had approximately 20% of its entering class with BELOW-B high-school grades.

Yes, SJU should downsize, including reducing faculty and staff. We should merge duplicative programs (e.g. business programs in the CPS should be eliminated and staff combined with Tobin) and cut back areas that don't attract higher grade students. We should also consider getting rid of the Staten Island campus. The school is bloated and right-sizing it will greatly help its reputation will still staying true to its mission to help the underprivileged.

in order for SJU to make any significant jump in standing, they'll need to focus on research (which i think is close to zero) and substantive contribution to the major fields of study (pharmacy, law, marketing & communications, business, etc).

st. john's gets by on brand recognition. i honestly still can't believe the brand is as strong as it is....

Marist had academic performance directly tied into your on campus housing. In other words, if you did poorly in school, you would have to live in crappier places. The very best students got the best housing. The system is called "Priority Points" and you get them based on grades, clubs joined, etc. It was kind of like a public shame tactic in a way and that helped motivate. If you had 2 friends you wanted to live with in the best housing available, your 2 friends would be pressuring you to do well, since all your priority points are calculated together as a group. I actually saw some people kick others out of college friend groups, because they did not do well and would bring their points down as a group.

We can get creative with things like that. Also, we should be pursuing major partnerships. Marist has partnerships with IBM, a close relationship with ESPN (met Brandon Tierney while there and saw him host a show on campus), and also Marist Poll which is pretty popular and I believe the partnership is with NBC. I don't know of any partnerships SJ has with prestigious places like that. As the other poster said, maybe it's time we update our mission. By the way, Marist recalculates student GPA when they apply. They remove the "fluff" of gym, basket weaving, music, etc. and recalculate your GPA based on the core subjects only. They don't just take anyone. Not saying Marist is Duke obviously or anywhere near, but they clearly have high standards. Would be nice to see here.
 
College Admissions in a Covid Year: SATs Are Out, Personal Stories Are In

The pandemic has dramatically changed what admissions officers are looking for


By Douglas Belkin / WALL STREET JOURNAL

Sept. 17, 2020

Memo to high-school seniors applying to selective colleges: A high score on your SAT is out. A Covid-19 epiphany is in.

Hundreds of colleges dropped their mandate for a standardized test score this year as a result of the pandemic, but the replacement criterion at many schools may be just as daunting for would-be college freshmen: a new understanding of themselves and their place in the world as a result of the pandemic.

“This wasn’t something you could study for or plan for, but it offers a great opportunity for students to show us what they were able to do when they just had to figure out how to make it work. That’s a unique story,” says Catherine Davenport, dean of admissions at Dickinson College, which won’t include test scores in its admissions decisions for the first time this year.






Standardized college entrance exams like the SAT and ACT have been a fixture in the application process for most colleges for decades and a rite of passage for generations of college-bound students. But criticism that scores largely track household income, combined with pandemic-related logistical challenges, have prompted about 400 schools to pay less or no attention to test scores this year, according to the National Center for Fair and Open Testing, an organization critical of the exams. Now, more than 60% of four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. don’t require test scores.

Many students welcome the change, but the absence of a standardized score leaves a gap in the information most schools use to judge applicants. Two additional holes are left by the cancellation of most extracurricular activities and the inability of students in most cases to demonstrate interest in schools by attending college fairs or visiting schools.

Admissions counselors say they will place more weight on what remains: transcripts, grades and recommendations. They will also consider how students handled the limitations imposed on them by the pandemic and what they learned from the experience.


“Students should explain as well as they can the context of their lives during Covid,” says Eric Furda, dean of admissions at the University of Pennsylvania. “That means hunting deep for insight about how Covid affected them, how they were able to derive meaning from it, how it will impact them moving forward.”

Both the Common Application and Coalition Application, which together are used by about 900 schools, added space for students to describe their experience during the pandemic.

Carleton College admissions officers are seeking to build a class of students who are engaged learners and bring different talents and experiences to the college campus, says Art Rodriguez, dean of admissions. The paths students took when the routine of their lives was removed offers a unique window into their lives, he says.

“It did not affect everybody the same way, but it has affected everybody in some way,” he says.


Matt Bonser, the director of admission at Colorado College, says students who apply early-decision, which commits a student to one school before they have heard from any others, may have an additional edge this year. Admissions teams will face more Covid-related uncertainty as they try to enroll their next class, so many of them may be inclined to accept more early-decision applicants, he says.

As for students’ experiences during the pandemic, Mr. Bonser says this is an opportunity for them to illustrate how they showed leadership and perseverance. And if some students spent most of their senior year in their basement watching cartoons and eating Cap’n Crunch cereal, Mr. Bonser says he understands that, too.





“But hopefully at least there will be some glimmers of hope,” he says. “Maybe it will help them clarify their goals or what they are looking forward to in their future.”

So sad to see our alumni "giving' so low. It is very disheartening, because you know that at least a good portion of alums have good jobs and could give back. SJU helped them get those good jobs. Come on alumni.
 
I'm pretty sure that SJU has/had a relationship with Goldman Sachs where many SJU students got internships there. I also know our homeland security department greatly valued some of our cybersecurity and homeland security course tracks. I.C.E. recruited on campus with great interest, but canceled their scheduled appearance and the previous SJU jobs fair because of students protesting I.C.E. on campus.
 
I see that Princeton is #1 on the list. How sweet it is, then, that this news just came up today:

The Department of Education has informed Princeton University that it is under investigation following the school president's declaration that racism was "embedded" in the institution.

President Christopher L. Eisgruber published an open letter earlier this month claiming that "[r]acism and the damage it does to people of color persist at Princeton" and that "racist assumptions" are "embedded in structures of the University itself."

According to a letter the Department of Education sent to Princeton that was obtained by the Washington Examiner, such an admission from Eisgruber raises concerns that Princeton has been receiving tens of millions of dollars of federal funds in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which declares that "no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."

SJU may be #170, but at least we don't have an idiot for a president.
