[quote=Anonymous]I graduated in '87. The "rankings" were not a big deal-- few knew about them-- but people definitely knew acceptance rates. Really was no different from anything else. How do you know what restaurants or vacation destinations or brands of luggage or books are good? You talk to people. But you don't usually think of these things in terms of, "This is a top ten brand of luggage," you just think, "This brand is considered high quality and expensive and well-regarded and is thought of as preppy," or whatever. Snobbery just as pernicious then, just without the faux-precision of the rankings.[/quote]
