[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Syracuse has been on the decline for the past couple of decades.

Look at the number of applications. Schools in a much better environment like BU, Northeastern, Miami, Wake see their applications surging.

So Syracuse's problem is really one that can't be solved.

I'm not sure how "decline" is being defined here, so I'm rolling with the WSJ rankings (at least today!). These schools, including Syracuse, have dropped in the rankings over the past two years, with BU falling from 42 to 200 in the rankings and only Wake Forest and Miami cracking the top 100. It looks like they are all in decline, at least according to the WSJ. My directional school alma matter even outranks BU now.

Seriously, these are all good, but expensive, colleges that will provide an excellent education. If you can’t make these or other private colleges work financially, there are tons of other options available that will get your children to the same place.

I'm pretty sure that anyone posting here (excluding the “ho” brothers who are operating on a different level that they don’t even understand) can punch holes in my use of the WSJ rankings to demonstrate that BU, Syracuse, and Northeastern are circling the drain, but we all try our best to manipulate rankings and stats to make our point. Don’t we?

PS - No connection to Syracuse or any other college mentioned, but due to the excellent ROI on my community college/directional school education, I’m at least in a position to kick the tires.
