No one believes a study that has Yale ranked #178 while ranking its own school #1.

Don't like the conclusion, eh? The Economist and Brookings produced their own studies based on the same data set. The conclusions were very similar (W&L was actually #1 in the Economist value add study). I didn't cite those because the Economist is subscription and Brookings requires you to enter your e-mail.

It seems you like the conclusion so much that you kept promoting it everywhere. The "study" is not credible. Georgetown reverse engineered a formula to make itself #1. They need to publish the actual formulas they use and have them peer reviewed.

This Georgetown list is quite comical. Actually Yale at #178 is not that bad considering

UChicago, #553
Brown, #845
Northwestern, #773
UIUC, #721
Amherst, #949
Swarthmore, #1338

But, sure, that W&L in Roanoke ... and Georgetown, the author of the 'study', is #1.

The Economist magazine (not published by W&L or Georgetown obviously) had W&L #1. Brookings (not published by W&L or Georgetown) - "Beyond College Rankings: A Value-Added Approach to Assessing Two- and Four-Year Schools" (not published by W&L or Georgetown) had Caltech #1 and W&L #6.

In the list above, you conveniently omit that Harvard is 3, Stanford is 5, MIT is 7. . .

Evidently W&L was moved to Roanoke. . .

Nobody knows where it is. It's even in a worst place than I thought.

Seriously why should anyone trust your list when it ranks

Williams: #778
Pamona: #1107
Amherst: #949
Swarthmore: #1338

But W&L is #4??

Not my list. It was three different reports based on shared research. The Economist magazine (not published by W&L or Georgetown obviously) had W&L #1. Brookings (not published by W&L or Georgetown) - "Beyond College Rankings: A Value-Added Approach to Assessing Two- and Four-Year Schools" (not published by W&L or Georgetown) had Caltech #1 and W&L #6.

UVA supporters usually never give any credit to other schools.
