Editorial & verification standards
Rankings & evaluation
NGS rankings and watchlists reflect editorial evaluations. A watchlist entry is not an official ranking. Rankings are time-specific assessments, not guarantees of recruitment, scholarships or future performance. See each board’s update date for context.
Profile verification
Profile information can come from imported records and editorial updates. A legacy verification badge does not establish a recent review date. A dated review indicates that NGS staff recorded a review and its supporting source. School offers and measurements should be checked against their cited sources.
Corrections & profile requests
Signed-in account holders may submit a profile correction or ownership-verification request. Explain what should change and provide a public supporting source. Do not send identity documents, medical information or private addresses. NGS staff review requests before changing published information.
