[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ If the former could be accurately assessed, sure. But US News attempts to do so via a peer assessment survey. Ask yourself how much someone from one school knows about what goes on in the classroom at all the others. Now look at that list. Do you really think that the quality of undergraduate teaching at Elon or Belmont is miles better than at Caltech, Duke, Vandy, or MIT. You may but I don’t. I think it’s laughable. All rankings are goofy on some level but this one  particularly so.

I agree that this thread is silly. There’s nothing “wrong” with W&M. The better question is why does the ranking continue to fall. [/quote]

Peer assessments form part of the overall ranking, no?  It’s falling Partially because of the emphasis on pell grants.  Partially because of poor funding.[/quote]

I think the Pell grant factor is new. W&M’s slide is older. Didn’t know about the funding issue. I’d be thrilled if my kids went to W&M.  Think it’s great and don’t give a hoot about the rankings. [/quote]
