[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Statistically it is wrong to to assign a numerical store to its school because the margin of error of its data sources is greater than the difference of the scores.

They should rank schools in tiers:

1. Super elite tier: HYPMS

2. Elite tier (6 - 15): Columbia, Penn, Chicago, Duke, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, ...

3. Top tier (16 - 30): These schools are equals in terms of prestige and rankings -- UVA, Michigan, UCLA, Cal, CMU, Emory, Georgetown, NYU, USC, Georgia Tech ...

4. Wake Forest, W&M ...

Except, Tier Person, Wake Forest now outranks UVA.[/quote]

UVA people are always trying to put other schools in lesser tiers. . .[/quote]

This is all so stupid.

Example of why: Georgetown is the best international relations school in the country for preparing kids for careers in that field. In other areas it’s weaker. Saying it’s below, say, Harvard or Penn in every area is inaccurate.

Just one example of why overall college rankings are pointless.[/quote]
