The third and fourth columns show the diﬀerence between the actual and predicted percentages of Pell Grant recipients and first-generation students based on ACT/SAT scores and the percentage of students admitted. The fifth column shows the diﬀerence between actual and predicted earnings of all students (dropouts and graduates) ten years after starting college after controlling for student demographics and majors, living costs, and other factors. The sixth column shows the net price of attending that institution, or the average price that first-time, full-time students who have a family income below 75,000 per year and receive financial aid to pay for college after subtracting need-based financial aid. The final two columns reflect the actual and predicted performance of the percentage of students who repaid at least 1 in principal on their loans within five years of entering repayment. RESEARCH: The first column shows total research expenditures. The second shows the school's ranking in the number of bachelor's recipients who go on to receive PhDs, relative to school size. The third ranks the school by the number of science and engineering PhDs awarded. The fourth column shows the school's ranking by the number of faculty receiving prestigious awards, relative to the number of full-time faculty. The fifth column ranks the school by the number of faculty who are members of the National Academies, relative to the number of full-time faculty. SERVICE: The first column ranks the school by the number of alumni who go on to serve in the Peace Corps, relative to school size. The second column ranks the school by the percentage of students who serve in ROTC. The third gives the percentage of funds in federal work-study money that goes to community service (versus non-community service). The fourth column shows the school's rank on a combined measure of the number of students participating in community service and the total number of service hours performed, both relative to school size. The fifth column shows the school's rank on a combined measure of the percent of students doing community service, the number of hours of community service per student, whether any staﬀ were employed in community service, if any service courses were oﬀered, or if the institution provides scholarships for community service. 80 September/October 2016 http://washingtonmonthly.com/college_guide?ranking=2016-rankings-national-universities http://washingtonmonthly.com/college_guide?ranking=2016-rankings-national-universities
