[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it similar to U Chicago in a key respect - takes almost the entire class ED - 80%+ ED acceptance rate? Unlike Chicago, Tulane publishes these stats, so you don't have to guess.

And a LOT more fun than Chicago![/quote]
No, I’d say the key thing that separates Chicago from peers is its intellectual atmosphere and rigorous academic load.[/quote]
Such as? There’s a ton of public universities with excellent reputations and strong alumni networks. The average person doesn’t care at all about wake forest, nor know what it is, nor has seen its network do anything at all.

+1.
C’mon people, one is ranked #11, higher than some Ivies. And the other is in the 60s. Not much in common between those two schools. [/quote]
Using ranking to prove any point other than that rankings are stupid is stupid. Agree with your point but really bad "evidence."[/quote]

In my 50 odd years on Earth, I have come to realize that reputations and rankings are there for a reason. They should of course be used with a grain of salt, and people should stay open minded, but nevertheless, it’s another datapoint to keep in the back of your mind.[/quote]
I don’t get all the hate against rankings. They line up with perceptions of elite/prestige pretty well. Sure there’s edge cases where you can make a ton more from university A, but overall the rankings seem decent[/quote]
Any ranking that has top privates/mid size universities below large public universities with low SATs should not be trusted. Sorry![/quote][/quote]
