[quote=Anonymous][quote=SAM2] If you're the type to credit the WSJ/Worth methodology, then you might subscribe to my analysis, because it's just an extension of the same approach that makes it more robust. Alternatively, if you want a bigger palette of colleges, but few high schools and fewer years of data, then you'll likely subscribe to Matriculationstats. [/quote] My whole point is that your approach is not more robust and that Matriculationstats has [i]more [/i]years of data and is much more current. True, Matriculationstats has only private schools, but I thought that's the whole point of this forum. I give up trying to persuade you, and presume others wouldn't persuade you to change your methodology either, because then different schools might emerge on top in your rankings. I suspect there's some sort of a bias. Having said all that, I'd still like to commend you for undertaking this exercise because I think it's useful information if interpreted properly, and it encourages others to try to interpret available (and not so easily available!) data on their own.[/quote]
