NRC Rankings

[CulturalCriminal]

Given the criticism that the NRC doesn’t consider program prestige and standing and has had its metrics questioned, how much faith do y’all have in the NRC rankings? How do you account for the difference between them and USNWR (also has its problems)? If not, do you just gauge programs off of faculty and word of mouth? How are you supposed to know if a program is tier 1 or 4 if these two systems report such diff rankings?
