[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree.  I’m not sure why the Richmond poster or posters thinks that slightly higher stats and the admissions acceptance rate matters when we are talking jobs in the real world and graduate school.   No one cares.  I’ve seen Richmond on resumes that have crossed my desk.  I’m never impressed.   [/quote]

Below the top n schools, you're not going to get a wow factor for random resume submissions, that's true. By that metric, UR might not have an advantage over Elon. But school caliber matters for OCR. As I wrote above, UR does a little worse than UVA when it comes to prestigious firms recruiting in campus, but only a little worse. It seems to do better than W&M. OCR matters for your first job, which matters for your second job, and so on. How does Elon do? What prestigious firms recruit there? I doubt too many.[/quote]

“Prestigious firms” aren’t the goal for everyone. What a dim view of education. [/quote]

What are some other goals of education on which Elon ranks better than UR? [/quote]

Rankings? Another dim metric. [/quote]

the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between good & bad things. you imbecile. you f**"ing moron"[/quote]

Only an imbecile would think ranking metrics are significant. [/quote]

I'm not married to rankings. What other metrics/criteria would you use to compare a school like Elon with a school like UR?[/quote]
