We steer clear of subjective measures since they don't give a clear picture when determining how one school compares to another. More specifically, the following explains what we consider and why.
The first step of determing the value of a school in our Best Doctor's Degree Colleges for the Money (With Aid) in New York ranking is to look at the school's average net price - the sum of tuition, fees, and room and board minus any financial aid awarded to the student.
