[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t that what northeastern does to protect their us news rankings?[/quote] Many colleges do this. BU, NYU, Hamilton, USC, Michigan, Miami. [b]US News doesn't use selectivity as a a component in its ranking system.[/b] It substitutes equity factors. Some do it for various reasons, but it generally boils down to more money/more tuition. The city of Boston caps how many northeastern and BU undergrads, so they have to play this game.[/quote] True, but many parents (especially rich, private-school parents) rate schools by exclusivity anyway. Even if US News isn’t looking at admissions rates, the schools are still artificially driving down their admissions rates for marketing purposes. [/quote]
