[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Surprised to see ND in top 20 when [b]33% is based on diversity. [/b]I guess the other factors must be very highly rated.[/quote] So it's not a ranking of student experience; it's ok based on someone's social engineering goals. [/quote] Do you believe that students place no value on diversity for their college experience?[/quote] NP- Some do, some don't. My kids want to interact with intellectual equals that challenge them to learn more. If nature dictates that environment is diverse than so be it, if it doesn't than they really don't care.[/quote] None of the current rankings yield this list for you. Sort schools by pre-test optional SAT score ranges to help you find one where the average is near your kid's average, or just pick the highest scoring colleges if yours is one of the 99.9%ile kids who will be top quarter everywhere. CompassPrep used to print these lists for our private school's college dean to distribute to students so they could find schools with the right peer mix to be a good academic fit. No surprise the top of the list was all Ivies plus MIT/Stanford/Duke[/quote]
