[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s all a game. Test optional? Only high test scores are received and reported, skyrocketing the averages. Spring freshman admits? First year or semester abroad? Their stats won’t be reported as freshman data. I could go on. But yes, it’s a game. Some colleges play better than others. And anyone who thinks that an education at one top 25 school is vastly superior to another based on rankings is delusional. [/quote] +1 Agree re: education quality. Focus on rankings and "top 25" and "top tier" etc. is putting rank (decided by whom, on what basis, and why do we care?) ahead of actually finding the right school for the individual student. We started the college list by looking at which schools had the majors that interest DC and how those schools run those courses. [/quote]
