[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one cares about these rankings. It's the US News ranking that matters.[/quote]

You were ahead with the first sentence. T[b]hen the second sentence showed up. Sad.[/quote][/b]

You clearly aren't a college counselor[/quote]

Maybe they're not, but I am. You're not doing your students any favors if you're advising them that the US News rankings matter.[/quote]

You can ignore the gold standard all you want and keep saying USNWR doesn’t matter but it is the reason schools are behaving the way they are about admissions …. Everything is tied to the reporting of stats to USNWR. I’m not saying that’s correct but it is what it is. Hence the fuss over number of acceptances and focus on yield, stats, gpa and test scores. This problem is what us driving admissions offices and marketing for our nation’s institutions of higher learning. To ignore that is foolish. All of the other ranks started because everyone realized there is money in rankings (wash Monthly sells ads to institutions hoping for a good rating; also pants and students subscribe to see the list).[/quote]
