College rankings. They have as many critics as there are reasons to be critical of them. But, are there useful nuggets to be found there? The time has come to take a closer look at how to use rankings and data in a smart, responsible way. We’ll explore the issue on Ranksgiving: Data and the College Search, a presentation of College Guidance Network and CGN School on Thursday November 18th at 7:30pm eastern. You’ll hear from best-selling author and Revisionist History podcast host, Malcolm Gladwell, Akil Bello of FairTest, Lisa Heffernan of Grown & Flown, and two current students. They’ll cast a little light on how families can use rankings and other data to inform their search.
