Fixed it for you. Truly bizarre that you left out UVA and Vandy because they are later in the alphabet. |

This is bizarre. The percentages were likely ranked based on decimal increments not listed, even though the round figure was listed. You just made them all equal. They were listed in that order for a reason. USNWR will give ranks the same number if they are indeed the same. but nice try rewriting the data. |

| Are there any college search engines that let you filter by retention rates? |

| Honestly, I would not make a college decision based on a retention difference of 99% and 97%. In the real world, that’s called a distinction without a difference. |

Exactly. This is a pointless thread. I kept thinking I'd see something profound come from it, but.....I guess that's another two minutes I'll never get back. |

US News & World Report doesn't agree with you. The most influential flagship ranking uses retention rates for it's ranking factors. https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/articles/how-us-news-calculated-the-rankings LOL |
