[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The methodology favors

-schools in CA, urban areas, etc. where there are many diverse applicants. My school  got slammed for this, but it’s located in an state with low diversity, and there’s only so much recruitment that can be done to bring in diverse students

-schools in urban areas or with engineering and business majors, as starting incomes is a big factor. My school gets slammed because it’s located in an area that doesn’t have high paying jobs, it’s a SLAC that doesn’t offer technical or business degrees, and many grads choose to go into lower paying professions like teaching, academia, music performance, or public service.

-schools that have big endowments and can spend more money on students. Or conversely public schools that charge less in tuition. My school has a low student-teacher ratio, only allows teaching by actual PHDs, and has great rankings when it comes to things like intellectual challenge and student satisfaction. But because the school does this while spending less money than other schools, it gets dinged big time. (I do concede that schools with big endowments that use the money to fund scholarships and reduce student loans is an important factor.)[/quote]

Hmmm. Kenyon?[/quote]

A lot of truth in their arguments, though.[/quote]

Wasn’t opining either way. Just trying to guess the school. [/quote]
