Uh no. Many of them like UVA have already dropped it. And while we are on the topic of Notre Dame let’s discuss it’s abysmal 3.3% black student population (and don’t try comparing it to the UV schools -we stomped you on that last time) |
| Thoughts about W&M dropping? |
You must be the one obsessively googling USNWR every 10 mins for the list. Sad. |
DP. Are many black students even applying to ND? Kind of weird to think they would be. |
+1. It’s why publics in other states don’t rank as high with USNWR but it’s nothing that the schools can do anything about - punish them for being in Econ healthier states) |
It literally dropped 2 spots to 20, it can easily drop another next year. |
A 3.9 weighted is not the same as a 3.9 unweighted. Also those 3 schools sat scores are 1500+. |
Doubt it means anything significant. So many top privates outside of the Ivies dropped |
Really? There’s an ENTIRE wiki on black Catholicism! |
|
how do I see how things moved?
|
| The more the rankings weight social mobility over things like class size (which was eliminated!) and entering student stats (measure of the strength of the peer group), the less relevant they are as a way to assess the quality of education or experience a student will have, which is what people look to these rankings for. I find the new methodology to be disappointing. |
I can see ND falling out of the top 20 next year. |
UVA moved up from 25 to 24 |
It’s UAB at #142. UA Tuscaloosa is #170. |
| I think this makes sense. Schools like Florida and the UC schools do well at graduating kids of different means throughout their state. I've always thought some schools like Tulane and Northeastern to be overhyped and overpriced. My best friend's daughter goes to Case Western and all her into classes have a few hundred people in them. At that point. why go there over William & Mary, VT, or Maryland? I do wonder if some privates will have trouble with their yield now. And some of the drops are wild - most Washington University and Tufts grads I know are the kind of people to care about rankings so I'm sure the drop will be hard for them. |
