The Web site does not indicate how many students responded from each one of the individual schools.
Marlyn McGrath Lewis '70-'73, director of admissions, said that surveys don't have much effect on applicants' decisions. Objective information about facilities, the graduation rate and other facts are more important for applicants, she said.
"What is certainly true is that public sources of information as opposed to rankings [are] very helpful to students and families and in the past 10 years has produced a very informed applicant pool," she said.
According to Celeste James, the director of public affairs for U.S. News & World Report, no one at that magazine was aware of the survey.
Even if it does become more well-known, it will not be competition for the rankings put out by U.S. News, James said.
"Our survey is a very particular product and service, and we don't see other surveys as competition," she said.
