*Denotes schools that did not submit statistical information to U.S.News. From the U.S News methodology:  "schools that declined to provide statistical information to U.S. News and its readers had their academic peer ratings programmatically discarded before any computations were made. To be clear, nonresponders were still scored using the full complement of eligible ratings submitted by peer schools; but any ratings they made of other schools were omitted."
