Summarization
The New York Times and Frank Bruni have created a new college ranking tool based on factors such as diversity, cost, location, and academics. This tool allows students to tailor their list of schools according to their own needs and values. However, some criticize the tool for not highlighting colleges that mandate Covid-19 vaccines. Additionally, many students place too much emphasis on rankings; Bruni hopes this new tool will encourage college-bound students to reflect on their goals and choose colleges that are realistic and transformative. The tool also includes interviews with grads and opinions on college rankings.
Topic Modeling
- College Rankings Tool
- Diversity and Cost in College Selection
- Anxiety and Mental Health in College Admission
- Importance of Personal Values in College Selection
- Impact of College Education on Future Earnings
Emotional Analysis
The tweets express a range of emotions, including pride in the college's ranking and success, skepticism towards rankings as a whole, concern for mental health and well-being of college students, appreciation for a new personalized ranking tool, and critique of the limitations of ranking criteria. Some tweets also express frustration with specific ranking criteria, and one tweet mentions excitement about an upcoming event with a prominent journalist. Overall, the tweets suggest a complex and nuanced attitude towards college rankings and the factors considered in them.
Trend Analysis
- Personalized college rankings - Critique of traditional college rankings - Focus on factors beyond academics (diversity, cost, location, earnings after graduation) - Importance of considering individual goals and values when choosing a college - Mental health and pressure in college admissions process

| 1640710525708566528 | A cool new college rankings tool that brings up a wide variety of colleges based on factors like diversity, cost (pre- and post-aid), location, (and of course academics!).

| 1640352418054414339 | In a related essay, @FrankBruni hopes this new college rankings tool will encourage college-bound students to pause, reflect on what they truly want, factor in what’s realistic and consider a list of colleges assembled along those lines. https://t.co/7XH7S5amcF | 4 |
| 1640437198620090369 | For many students, a “Hunger Games” approach to college admission jeopardizes mental health and conflates brand with worth, @FrankBruni writes. A new @nytopinion tool for personalized college rankings might help. https://t.co/wpTiUZ9Goo | 4 |
