[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know the US News ranking methodology changed, right? When the schools were judged on a different scale every year, you shouldn't compare one year to another. [/quote]

THIS. OP is horribly ignorant.  UVA was no 2 public is USNWR eight years ago. The only reason it slid was because USNWR changed its methodology to put more emphasis on number of pell grant recipients. anyone on college admissions can tell you that a public university cant control that.  Pell grant eligibility is determined after acceptance. So
long as Virginians, as a whole, are wealthier than Californians, UVA will have fewer pell grant recipients. Thus, when USNWR did this, UVA dropped. no big deal. And before you say UVA should do more to service the poor, it has, with a number of outreach prigrams, and is one of the few publics to participate in Questbridge. So, as long as USNWr continues in this path, the Virginia schools will
be "punished" in the ratings because Virginia a better managed stated. Go figure. Everyone in high ed knows this. OP is either ignorant or a VTech (UVA rival) or MD boister or yet another parent fried because their kid didn't get into UVA so take it out here. Ignore and move on[/quote]

Nice ra[b]nt. UVA is now #5. Eight years ago they were #2 and eight years from now they will drop even more.  [/quote][/b]

Nice rant back. You are an idiot.  What the PP says is the truth[/quote]
