[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not number of Pell grants. It is the graduation rate for Pell grant recipients. Which seems fair. [/quote]

Actually, it's both.  Look it up.[/quote]

There is an informative infographic in this article from the University of California that explains why those schools moved up in general (and why UCLA ranked ahead of Berkeley).  UC schools have both a high percentage of Pell Grant recipients and a very good graduation rate.  They have 42% Pell Grant recipients across the system.  In contrast, UVA is at about 13% and W&M at 12% Pell Grant recipients.   Both UVA and W&M appear to have relatively high Pell Grant graduation rates according to the SCHEV site.

In the case of UVA, this probably contributed to staying behind UCLA and Berkeley and in the case of W&M, falling behind UC Santa Barbara, UC Irvine, and tying with UC Davis.
