[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really shows are rankings are measures of what the people doing the rankings want to measure. I think small class sizes and close interaction with professors are a big plus. I want professors focused on teaching first, not research. Colleges that fit my criteria will tend to rank lower. They don't give much merit aid though so that pretty much counts us out, even if we could get in.[/quote] I know Wake is definitely not a SLAC but it has some of the characteristics of one, particularly in terms of size (though it would be a large SLAC), so it is getting penalized for this. Which makes no sense. If USN&WR never changed its criteria the rankings would almost never move so no one would care. So they have to constantly fiddle with it to please the ignorant masses who put so much stock in it.[/quote]
