[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wake fell considerably in recent rankings.  Wake is a school in decline.  [/quote]

Because of the way the rankings were calculated this year. It was consistently in the top 25-30 schools for 25+ years. The only thing that changed is how USNWR valued certain inputs to their calculations. Wake is not “in decline”[/quote]

Wake tumbled considerably in the rankings. That’s a fact.  All schools were subject to “the way the rankings were calculated this year”. And Wake dropped like a stone.  [/quote]

DP: The rankings may be a fact, but that they are a meaningful measure of educational quality is what is in contention. You could make a ranking of schools based on criteria that would make MIT drop like a stone and I wouldn't believe it was in decline either.  The new rankings lessened the importance of faculty quality and increased the importance of percentage of Pell grant students in multiple factors.  That might be important to on a societal level, but it doesn't impact the quality of education my UMC kid receives nor their career/grad school outcomes.  [/quote]

Wake Forest every class is taught by professor and the personal attention is outstanding. The new rankings do not take this into consideration and whatever in rankings. It is a great school and those who know know including employers and grad schools. I can’t imagine U Chicago being for my kid but it is also a great school. If you feel strongly then have your child apply there. There are so many great schools. A great school FYI is one that your kid will thrive in.[/quote]
