[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]William and Mary behing Virginia Tech.

This is what high school counselors have been saying for years.[/quote]

No they haven't.

Not shocking VT is ranked higher when they play affirmative action with first gens[/quote]

What school doesn't?  At least they're transparent about it.

Not on the level VA tech does. They want 40% of the student body to be FGLI. Seems middle class gets no financial aid as a result of that. Makes US news happy, not so much the average Virginian who can't afford 40K COA on a 100k income [/quote]

Again:  that is no longer part of the criteria they use for ranking.  Move along.[/quote]

Did you even read the methodology? They replaced first gen factors with Pell grant factors. Still weighted as heavily as last year. These factors only reflect social mobility, not educational experience for all. USN&WR remain irrelevant for [b]most[/b] DCUM users whose kids are not in need of social mobility.[/quote]
My kids could use some mobility. [/quote]

+1
So could mine!  I love how the PP deigns to speak for everyone.  [/quote]

Nope, I said MOST DCUM users aren’t focused on social mobility. DCUM has one of the wealthiest, most educated user bases out there. They’re looking for educational quality, not admission and performance of low income students. So these rankings are irrelevant to those users, yet people don’t read the methodology and treat it as some sort of holy grail.[/quote]
