[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think at that point, I’d mostly weigh cost, fit, school’s financial health, and other metrics like retention and graduation rates. Take a more holistic view versus simply picking the higher ranked school.[/quote] +1 the rankings are pretty meaningless IMO. The only way they matter for some people is an indicator of prestige and after you get out of the T30 or so then you are out of the "prestige" area anyway. I looked for a good retention rate (>80%), affordable cost, good program for what my kids wanted to do and a good regional reputation for those programs. [/quote]
