Does the Maclean's Ranking Matter?

Canadian Public Policy, 2005, vol. 31, issue 3, 231-242

Abstract: The first 14 years of Maclean's magazine rankings of Canadian universities are analyzed in conjunction with data on admission averages of entering students and enrolment. There is weak evidence that universities in the Medical-Doctoral category that have improved their Maclean's ranking have subsequently attracted students with higher admission averages. There is no evidence of an effect for other university categories. There is also no evidence that universities that have scored well have increased their enrolment share.
