Because white supremacy needs to be re-established, right? |
Who's the racist now? |
Give it a rest, unless you are talking about a few Ivies, every test optional school has a large portfolio test optional. |
UVA: 1470, 59%
Tulane: 1450, 45% W&M: 1470, 59% UMD-CP: 1450, 48% Boston College: 1480, 50% WFU: 1450, 48% Brandeis: 1450, 43% Boston University: 1450, 40% Syracuse: 1340, 33% Penn State: 1310, 39% Pepperdine: 1360, 21% American: 1370, 36% Northeastern: 1500, 35% WFU has a perfectly reasonable % of students submitting test scores. UVA has 40%+ students TO, BC 50%, BU 60%. Wake is nowhere near schools like Pepperdine, Northeastern with submitting percentages in the mid to low 20s and 30s. |
Your list doesn’t exactly make the case that Wake should be ranked much higher than UMCP, which it was before test optional and the new rankings formula. |
NP. So, so tiresome. I guess losing the election still hasn't sunk in. |
Wake has been test optional for more than a decade, and always has placed more emphasis on grade and ecs. What had it ranked higher than Maryland was things like average class size, and percentage of classes taught by full professors. Test scores has never been a huge component of the rankings. |
Still you |
Wow, I hadn't liked the new methodology but this offers much food for thought. Thanks for sharing |
They also offer a substantially larger share of low scoring students. There surely isn’t two people on this board who don’t understand percentages? This has to be sock puppeting. |
Can someone without a ton of bias explain why wake was t30 in the first place? I feel like all the other t30 schools are very popular, well known, and academically at the top. I have no doubt wake forest is great, but it’s under the radar across the country |
Very small class sizes, all classes taught by professors, high level of alumni giving are what kept it on the T30, it was when those factors were removed and first gen/pell grant specific factors were added that it fell out of the T30. It’s basically a slac in a medium size university package with Power 5 sports in a state with a good climate. That’s a package that’s been attracting strong students for a long time, and not dissimilar from Duke and Vanderbilt, which is why it’s often a top choice for students not admitted to those schools. |
You're an idiot |
+100000 Exactly what I thought the second I read it. |
No dog in this fight but getting rid of alumni giving, class size, terminal degree, selectivity, etc. was the dumbest decision ever. |
