Will Wake ever be in the #30s again?

[Anonymous]

Article blurb:

U.S. News made the shift partly in response to criticism that it puts a premium on prestige, filling the top of the list year after year with wealthy, private, highly selective institutions. This year, open-access institutions with more low-income and minority students saw the benefits of the new metrics: the City University of New York’s City College and San Diego State University both jumped by 46 places, for instance, and a few—such as Rutgers University at Camden and Texas A&M University—cracked the top 50 for the first time.

At the same time, some private colleges with little socioeconomic diversity fell in the rankings. American University dropped by 33 places to No. 105, tied with City College and SDSU; Pepperdine University fell by 21 places, and Wake Forest University, formerly in the top 30, fell by 18.

IDK, but ever is a long time.

WHO CARES. It is a small school for wealthy kids. So that alone limits who its appeal. And if you are one of the minority of families who want that - rankings mean nothing. No monetized, statistic based list has ever captured the true character of a school. If you like it - apply, attend. It’s not like the outcomes of graduates are going to be any different.

A 25+ year fluke?

Don’t think so

Wake is now like SMU. They are nearly peer schools and will be closely matched in 10 years.
