[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't remotely put Wake in the same caliber of schools like Vandy, Emory and WashU. [/quote]

Before the changes to U.S. News ranking last year to emphasize dei factors, Emory and Wake were both ranked in the 20-30 position for literally two decades. Agree that Vandy and Wash U have been a tier higher.

Emory and Wake were never peers. Emory has also been T20 for 2 decades. Doesn't matter Wakes new ranking makes more sense. [/quote]

Emory closer to Wake than Vanderbilt [/quote]
If trolling makes you feel better
Emory is ranked 24, Vandy 18, Wake 47. [/quote]

Well, we can go year by year for 25 years and for all but one, Wake will be in the top 30.  If success rates for first gen and pell grant students are relevant  to you, than last year’s rankings will matter, otherwise not so much.  I will say that  Emory should be commended for its long commitment to Questbridge which definitely helped iin the new rating critieria.  Wake hasn’t historically been strong in the area and it should improve.  Where Wake is particularly strong is small class sizes, even for introductory classes, and credentialed faculty teaching classes, criteria U.S. News no longer cares about, but I do.

It's a testament to Emory, Vandy etc that they remain top ranked schools despite methodology changes. Schools like Wake and Tufts live and die by what's being measured. Emory and Vandy make sure they're good at everything so that methodology changes don't matter much. [/quote]

Eh. Vanderbilt was ranked 13th in 2023. And it was ranked 18th in 2024. The change in methodology helped Berkeley and UCLA. And hurt Vanderbilt and private universities generally. [/quote]
And 18, and 24 are still Top rankings. You can look at US News peer assessment and notice Vandy has a 4.3, Emory a 4.2, Wake a 3.7. In other words 30% of respondants give Wake a 3/5, while 20% of respondants give Emory a 5/5, and 30% for Vandy. [/quote]
