[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Agreed. There’s also something subtler going on here. There are the official rankings that list the common knowledge top schools, like the Ivys and the schools that appeal to [b]people in China[/b], and then there’s a more unspoken ranking that comes from a network of elite private schools and people who work in academics. There’s no way to quantify why colleges are on that list. That’s why places like Tufts, Wesleyan University, Vassar, Swarthmore, Haverford etc. might not be high on the USNews rankings but are still competitive among certain groups of people. That’s a different group than those who might see Emory and Tulane as desirable or BC and Northeastern or any other grouping. It’s cultural. So arguing about Tufts versus Emory or Haverford versus BC doesn’t make sense. [/quote] Oddly a bit racist. What's wrong with the "people in China"?[/quote]
