[quote=Anonymous]I agree that UMD's reputation lags their reality, and it's a great school today. That said, these rankings are supposedly very mechanical, in that the index is put together by taking certain specific variables and mashing them together with specified weights. None of this should be open to subjective variations because US News is stuck in the 70s and thinks it's still a party school. I haven't looked closely at the US News Index to figure out which of the variables might be lowering UMD's score, but endowment is one good possibility. Another might be graduation rates? [/quote]
