[quote=Anonymous]^^ sorry for the typos. Accidentally it send before proofing. My last sentence was going to say that this is why parent need to stop with having blind faith in USNWR rankings. There are now many, many different rankings out there. Parents need to look at underlying methodology and find rankings that match their priorities— 4/6 year grad rate, starting salary, percentage who are admitted to med school, class size,, undergrad teaching. Etc. Parents also need to carefully check methodology and make sure they are looking at undergrad teaching metrics and not grad school teaching metrics. Tulane should serve as a warning for parents and kids making decision based on IUSNWR rankings. Change happens slowly over time. It’s possible a school legitimately drops 15-20 places in 20 years. Absent something truly catastrophic happening at a college, no school drops 20+ spaces in one year. If that happens, the school was playing the USNWR game and got burned. [/quote]
