[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UC Davis is very hot. I get that the DCUM crowd isn't aware, but it's a very good school.[/quote]

Someone is apparently very triggered that their kid at Emory might get their finance jobs taken from Davis students.  [/quote]
Except that Davis students won't be swooping in to take internships from Emory students due to US News rankings changes. The ranking has gotten further and further from reflecting prestige in the employment world.[/quote]

I thought that’s what the WSJ rankings attempted to capture.  Not sure how either school did on that. I know Babson did well. [/quote]

WSj was a fraudulent ranking exercise to make you click on it. It was based only on ROI. If you look at college as only a means to an end, i.e.., a trade school for stem then it’s worth what it is printed in. [/quote]

I wouldn't call it fraudulent. All that really matters is Teaching Quality, First Year Experience, Student-Teacher Ratio, and ROI.  The rest of it is just BS to appease certain special interests. [/quote]

The WSJ was based on ROI. Every single ranking that comes out has to rejigger the variables so it differs from the good e which is USNWR because it’s been around since 1983. This is all about advertising and marketing. Because suckers like us, and students and universities click on these things. But every ranking has its own methodology which you need to know to evaluate the findings. WSj is ROI. So if you don’t believe in a liberal arts education for the sake of it then WSJ is for you[/quote]
