[quote=Anonymous]Employers know about Dartmouth and other schools. if they care about such things they don't need nor will they consult US News. Its not like they are coming in from Mars with no other information sources. Why would they care that in one particularly year, more applicants said no to Middlebury and more said yes to Bowdoin? There is no ranking that can tell you about the culture of a school, which is one of the most important aspects of a fit. I'll bet if your DC makes a list of what is important to him or her in a college, very few of the things on that list will be taken into account for rankings. School visits are MUCH more helpful than rankings. My DC scratched some schools she had thought would be high on her list off completely after she saw them. And fell in love with others she hadn't thought would be high on her list.[/quote]
