Zuke,
I'm glad to be able to ease your mind on this issue. We don't do anything special to be included on this list. We just exist, and they pick us.
4 years ago we were included on the "regular" list of 100 Top High Schools (which are chosen by the number of AP tests a school gives), then Newsweek realized that we did not fit into their specified methodology because we are selective admission, so we were left off the list for a couple of years. Then they created this special list to include selective admission schools, and we were on it.
We will not change our way of doing things in order to fit into any particular list or category. But it is fantastic for Uni to gain this national recognition, and it is sure to reflect well on our students and alums who continue to make us so proud.
