[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More educated parents and students aren't blindly following US News rankings any more.  Since their last release was so heavily mocked and with availability of information about a school's outcomes and strength of majors and strength of students academic achievements, US News is a much more minor role player now than in the past.

Parents look at the cost of the school, the name brand of the school, the SAT averages of the school, the acceptance rate of the school and the outcomes of the school a lot more than some outdated magazine.

Actual most educated parents and students look at things like programs offered, requirements for potential majors and course offerings, extracurricular opportunities, and location. Only uneducated but deeply prestige-obsessed parents fixate on things like name brand of the school or acceptance rates.[/quote]

Competitive schools are competitive because students are satisfied with programs offered, requirements for potential majors and course offerings, extracurricular opportunities, and location, etc. at higher rates overall.[/quote]

So are yield rate, retention rate, gradation rate, etc.
So next year for the next cycle, students look at those for reference.

100%

Correct, they will look at USNews which is what everyone does every year.

I guess once Wake Forest and others climb back to their previous spots under the new criteria, everyone will all of a sudden be good with the rankings.[/quote][/quote]
