That is a very odd list. [/quote]

I thought it was an interesting set of criteria, and one that I think my kid would also value in a school (small class sizes yet also a wide variety of available courses; diversity among both professors and the student body; well-educated professors; general student satisfaction). It's at least as valid as the factors that US News values heavily.[/quote]

The author actually comments on how odd the list will look after years of getting used to one set of criteria being used. I agree it's interesting to see how things shake out looking at things through a different lens.[/quote]

It’s odd because Scripps is not the third best college in the US in any conceivable sense. [/quote]

Except for the sense that encompasses the criteria used for this list, of course you mean. If you read the whole essay, they're not saying this list is supposed to be for everyone, only for the author. It's supposed to inspire you to make your own list instead of relying on what someone else tells you is best.[/quote]
