[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]good for Elon, but I think it is funny. I grew up in NC and before the re-branding, it was um not a college of choice.[/quote] It's true of a lot of sleepy little liberal arts colleges that typically only drew from their local area. Credit two things with the change - US News & World Report rankings started in the early 80s, and the internet in the mid-1990s. Schools realized that they could expand their reach by taking steps to drive themselves up the rankings, and the internet enabled them to create an online presence that could attract people from farther away. A lot of the popular schools today weren't on people's radar a generation ago.[/quote]
