[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Dumbass][quote=Anonymous][quote=Dumbass][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]

+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. [b]They line up with perceptions of elite/prestige pretty well.[/b] Sure there’s edge cases where you can make a ton more from university A, but overall the rankings seem decent[/quote]
They don't, actually.[/quote]
They really do, unless you’re a butthurt W&M parent.[/quote]
They really don't, unless you're a Rutgers, Texas A&M parent. Why are you so angry at parents whose kids have higher test scores than yours? W&M, Wake Forest, Tulane, CWRU are superior and their SATs reflect this fact of reality.[/quote]?? My kid has a 1550. I don’t think the schools you laid out are that impressive at all.[/quote]
