How was colleges with no application essay built?
From published federal reporting and each college's own Common Data Set, filtered and sorted on the number the list is about. It is not a ranking and there is no editorial judgment in the order.
What should I do with a list like this?
Use it to find candidates, then check each one against your own numbers. A school being on a list says nothing about whether it fits you, and the fit question is the one that matters.
