Put college ranking on resume? (employers, best, graduate, GPA)

[Cleverfield]

My college is ranked very highly by USNEWS, but because it's a small liberal arts college in the Midwest, almost no one here has heard of it. Would it be okay to put the ranking on my resume, or would it look too show-offy?

my instinct is no. especially if you're not a very recent grad.

I am a recent grad, I graduated June 2012.

You're promoting yourself not the college

I suspect that would be off-putting to a lot of employers (and anyone else who sees your resume).

I wouldn't put it on there if I was you. What would be the purpose?

This was a joke, right?

Fresh graduate DEFINITELY put your GPA if it's good. To not would be the dumbest of dumb.

GPA was 3.15, is that too low to put on?
