Not at all, Bowdoin has not consistently been ranked at the top like Williams and Amherst. It has worse student quality and ED2. It’s a good school, just not at the level of AWS[/quote]

Get the correlation? There is no difference among any of these schools except for the size of their bag.[/quote]
35 or so years? Where is the citation for this? U.S. News rankings have been around far longer than that.[/quote]

They started in 1984 but didn't get consistent until around 1988/1989. For the first five years some schools weren't listed. The big takeaway is how stable things actually are.[/quote]

DP, but you can look up when the US News rankings started and the first few ranking data. It's embarrassing to admit you haven't researched and don't know what you're talking about.[/quote]
