If you want to hear experts discuss how you should use the rankings, please mark you calendars for a new chat scheduled for may: How to Use the Rankings Right with Dean Paul Danos of Tuck Business School and Della Bradshaw, Business Education Editor for the Financial Times on May 4 at 9:00 AM PT/12:00 PM ET/5:00 PM GMT.
For those who seek financial aid, check out USNews.com, with its feature "Paying for College" posted just today. I work at US News, and we are all so proud of this newly posted Web content. There is SO much available. Kim Clark opens the article: "The average financial aid award accompanying this month’s college admission letters leaves a record dollar gap between the total cost of attendance and families’ savings. Get advice on finding, conserving, and paying back financial aid."

Thank you both for pointing out the errors. I corrected them in the post.
note from the detail police: in the b-school rankings, MIT and Kellogg are actually tied at #4 — there was no #5, just as there is technically no #8 as two schools tied for #7.
NYU School of Law is ranked 4th in the 2007 US News Law School rankings, not 5th as your list states above.
