[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so much bullshit. They increased the weight of SAT scores? I don't need USNWR to tell me which schools have students with the highest SAT scores; that information is readily available. How is that value-added? Further, given the correlation between SAT scores and family incomes, what these new rankings will be telling us is which schools have the wealthiest students. And, there is no correlation between educational quality and selectivity at the college level. None. So knowing where all the smart wealthy kids go to school tells you nothing about whether they are getting a good education there. This emperor has no clothes.[/quote] Could not agree with you more. Why is a pathetic, second rate, irrelevant rag in a dying industry determining the "rank" of colleges? Not sour grapes either, my kids are little.[/quote]
