[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CM drop - and VT’s equivalent rise - is because the 2023 USN rankings changed significantly

The 2023 rankings emphasize graduate salaries, first-generation student enrollment and graduation and faculty research productivity, while no longer incorporating alumni giving rate, class size, the high school class standing of new entrants, the proportion of graduates with debt and the proportion of faculty with terminal degrees.

Those changes reflect general concerns about the cost v benefit of education and the professionalization of college.

But I don’t think anyone who is getting a LA degree in Germanic languages is going to pick VT over WM because VT is ranked higher.

NP.  Our DC - not majoring in “Germanic languages,” but definitely in the humanities - did indeed pick VT over W&M.  The rankings had nothing to do with it.  It was entirely personal preference and fit - something so many of you discount.  For us, it was the #1 criteria.  DC is thriving at VT. [/quote]
