[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The factors that make it #1 on this ranking that includes both LACs and universities explain at least part of it.

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]

Is it the worst of the Claremont Colleges?[/quote]

Scripps and Pitzer typically rank a little lower than Pomona, Harvey Mudd & Claremont-McKenna, but all 5 undergraduate colleges in the Claremont consortium are in the top 40 of US News's LAC rankings. It's not like one is a total fluff compared with the others.  [/quote]
