US News is a pretty awful undergraduate source in reality, I mean the likes of Berkeley, University of Texas and other public schools aren't given the same value as private institutions. There's strong biases with US News on their undergraduate rankings, they amend those biases in the graduate school level though.
I present to you the breakdown by specialization, the source is graduate level colleges from US News:

Miami is no where on New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, or Phildelphia's level academically. Also "best school" between the 5 cities depends largely on preference on what you want to study, where you can tolerate weather, and what is more convenient for you. For example, Chicago has better schools for Law School, Los Angeles is better for Medicine, etc.
