[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop citing the Georgetown "study" which has Georgetown ranked #1.

No one believes a study that has Yale ranked #178 while ranking its own school #1.[/quote]

Don't like the conclusion, eh?  The Economist and Brookings produced their own studies based on the same data set.  The conclusions were very similar (W&L was actually #1 in the Economist value add study).  I didn't cite those because the Economist is subscription and Brookings requires you to enter your e-mail.

It seems you like the conclusion so much that you kept promoting it everywhere. The "study" is not credible. Georgetown reverse engineered a formula to make itself #1. They need to publish the actual formulas they use and have them peer reviewed.

This Georgetown list is quite comical. Actually Yale at #178 is not that bad considering

UChicago, #553
Brown, #845
Northwestern, #773
UIUC, #721
Amherst, #949
Swarthmore, #1338

But, sure, that W&L in Roanoke ... and Georgetown, the author of the 'study', is #1.
