Anyone who thinks W&M should be in the same research category as JHU or Harvard is an idiot.

Evidence for change in standards?

How does the current R1 designation differ from past?
Research 1: Very High Spending and Doctorate Production is reserved for institutions that spend at least $50 million annually for research and award 70 or more research doctorates each year.

You think in 1 year, 40 institutions just miraculously raised their research spending to R1 status…?

DP but do you just not know? If you don't know just say that.

Someone doesn't understand rhetorical questions. Please get a degree and learn the basics of English before coming onto a forum.

The PP asked a direct question and you answered with a stupid question (probably because you can't answer the actual question).

A direct question is now a targeted accusation with a snarky undertone? Woo, the biases here are insane.

Accusation? What are you even talking about

Oh thank god, you confirmed what I expected: you cannot read either. Hope a literacy program passes by your way sometime! I'm supportive of your endeavors to improve your comprehension skills.

You sound like a complete fool. "Passes by your way"... Really? I'm not the one who needs to take an english class!

...is this a serious comment?

Michigan actually has lower test scores than W&M and UVA which are tied in SAT scores and % submitting test scores.

AS always, an insecure W&M poster. Of course, test scores are the way you believe what makes up an intelligent student body.

DP.

"the way you believe what makes up an intelligent student body" sounds like sloppy word vomit. Do better.

That has nothing to do with what we're discussing. Can you-"DP"-make a constructive argument instead? Do better.

Perhaps one of these newly anointed R1 Research Intuitions should conduct a study on parent pettiness on an anonymous forum?

DP, but that is readable. You're commenting on a normal phrase.

It sounds weird. Also there shouldn't be two "your"s in a row.

Those are fine as marginal comments, but they actually aren't necessary for improving the sentence. You seem pretty annoying and picky if this bothers you.

Improvement is almost never necessary. It's almost always beneficial.

This is not true. There are necessary syntactic comments that are beneficial AND are important to improving your sentence structure. Marginal comments are mostly unnecessary gripes with style and are often wrong interpretations of how words sound in print versus spoken aloud.

There's a distinct culture of being snarky meaning someone is "right." I don't know why people think the rest of us will be pleased to see most threads filled with grammar debates.

As a parent looking at schools with my dc, I am so tired of the marketing spin of 'research' being touted as a big benefit at every college presentation. I don't care if it's R1, R2, whatever. Enough already! It's become another element of buzzword bingo. Can't we just focus on undergraduate learning? And, now that I learned that my tax $$ are funding most of these university research labs, I want to ask for a tuition discount!

Students are really into research and want a college that heavily supports it, on average.
