Just a FYI.
Per WSJ, "Our ranking measures how well each college sets graduates up for financial success. We look at how much a school improves students’ chances of graduating and their future earnings, balancing these outcomes with feedback from students on college life. We don’t measure reputation, nor the college’s own finances."
I filtered the notable texas schools in some categories, but not all. I believe 29 Texas schools are included in the top 500.
