[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I would not make a college decision based on a retention difference of 99% and 97%. In the real world, that’s called a distinction without a difference. [/quote]

Exactly. This is a pointless thread. I kept thinking I'd see something profound come from it, but.....I guess that's another two minutes I'll never get back.[/quote]

US News & World Report doesn't agree with you.
The most influential flagship ranking uses retention rates for it's ranking factors.

It’s not that retention rates are unimportant, but the difference between 99 and 97 is not. [/quote]

Do you think the highest is 99 and lowest is 97??
Why are you saying that?

How about 99 and 80 or 97 and 70

OP posted the link with a huge list down to like 33%

NP. if you don't understand that the "distinction without a difference" comment applied to the "top 20" schools listed in the OP  --not all schools in the USNEWs rankings -- then we can't help you.

What are you talking about???
OP listed top 20 or so for the first year retention rates, then a link to the full list.
You got mad because OP didn't post the full lis heret? [/quote]
