Cumulative 10 year US News Rankings (1998 - 2007)

Here are the rankings of the top ten colleges according to U.S. News and World Report (a continuation of the rankings, on a year by year basis, exists in the link below). The rankings were created by averaging the rank of each institution over the last ten years (1998-2007). 8 of the 10 schools have been ranked in the top ten 10 times. The runner-ups Columbia and Dartmouth were outside of the top ten once and thus get the number 9 and 10 spot on the list. The average ranking is indicated."
