Greatest: You must receive the Lakewood Edition of the US News & World Report. Touro is ranked 104 on the list with a tuition approx. $15K. Compared to Brooklyn College where Chaim Berlin and other yeshiva students go, it is ranked at #55 with only $6K tuition. In addition, Touro accepts 68.9% of students applying (Probably because money talks) compared to Brooklyn College that accepts only 28.2%.
My regular US News & World Report, not the Lakewood Edition, lists all the Ivy League schools surpassing Touro in every area.
Here is how the IVY League Schools Rank:
Brown University=#15
Columbia University=#4
Cornell=#15
Dartmouth College=#10
Harvard University=#1
Princeton University=#1
University of Pennsylvania=#8
Yale University= #3
Here is a comparison between Brooklyn & Touro, since they both are in the same geographical area.

I do not know how you determined salaries since I could not find that on the reports, but I did find the Busienssweek which refutes that idea. It states that graduates from Ivy League earn the biggest salaries. Here is a link to Payscale which Business week bases their finding.

But as my esteemed yeshiva classmates used to say when they discovered I was going to go to Touro College (College itself is a blasphemous word), Touro is a pig that has the semonim of being kosher but it is pure treif; so I decided to go pure treif and transferred to Brooklyn 🙂
