除了工程/CS等比较职业导向的一些硬专业之外，由于本科教育仍以通识教育为
主旨，学校的整体学术声誉是考虑选校的一个重要指标。

US NEWS的同行评价打分(Peer Assessment Score)是这方面衡量的一个很好参考。

对比2013和2019(最新) 的数据，俺发现CMU, UCLA, GA Tech打分都有上升，这与
我们观察到近年这几校很火的现象相吻合。

值得指出的是，此表上一些州大表现不俗。说明好州大也是一个很好的上学选择。
如果是本州，学费低，更加值得考虑。

前15，20学校每年变化其实都不大。这些学校的优势是N年积累，很牢固。

[以下分线和评语为本人所加，一家之言]
