I'm ranking schools based on tuition, cost of living in the particular city, funding offered to me, reputation, class size, clinical opportunities, faculty, whether the program is 3/4 years, and overall experience during application process.
I created my own criteria based on those particular components, but I would encourage you to make your own based on what is important to you.
So far this has helped me eliminate 3 acceptances because I can not afford to live in an expensive city. Also, I'm thinking of committing to a 3 year program instead of 4 because I will be able to complete my program sooner (still not sure if I'm ready for the rigor though :/).
I hope this helps!
