[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For example, USN&WR says Ruttgers is #41

However real people actually ranked it significantly lower than that, hence not many students especially high stat kids ranked it high and chose it.  Thus it has high acceptance rate, low yield, and full of  1250 SAT kids.

Which reference do you take more seriously the magazine ranking or the real-life ranking by the actions of the real students?

Rutgers USNWR ranking is appropriate. If you don't like it, sorry. You can ignore the ranking or send your kid to another college. Many to choose from. Private and public.[/quote]
Appropriate is such a cop out. Make a real argument. Why do you think the percentage of pell grant students at a university should be weighted more than class standing?[/quote]

+1000 Who cares how many kids are Pell grant recipients? Who cares about social mobility? Neither of these things makes an excellent university for my kid. We are full pay and my kid will be 4th/5th generation to attend college. [/quote]
Exactly. No way are we going Rutgers over Case Western because of pell grant BS.[/quote]

Rutgers has like a 28% yield rate.

Case Western has a less than 15% yield rate. 🤣

You sockpuppet posters are silly.

Start your own ranking system.[/quote]
Just goes to show that yield rate doesn't mean much. Student quality trumps yield any day.[/quote]

BYU's yield rate is greater than Caltech.
