[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will JMU catch W&M in the rankings now that VT passed W&M?[/quote] As to post itself, the poster assumes this is permanent and then uses ranking as a plural. Tech is one spot higher in the USNWR ranking than William and Mary and methodologies will change again. Forbes has W&M significantly higher in its 2025 ranking. I can locate others where W&M is higher so the post is not correct but give Tech credit as a great school. As to the question itself, maybe one day but not in your or my lifetime. W&M just received $150MM in donations to fund one degree program and the amount is greater than JMU's entire endowment, not to mention JMU is many times larger than W&M. [/quote] Does it bother you that VT passed W&M in USNWR? VT is also larger than W&M so you can’t be certain the methodology won’t favor JMU in the future. I doubt many W&M boosters ever thought they would be passed by VT in USNWR but it happened. [/quote] No not at all. And I agree with you on your second point and third points. My point was it's a blanket statement on rankings so it really wasn't correct and then the national ranking I am sure the poster was referring to was USN&WR and the differential was just by one point! I detest rankings and when people make blanket statements like that it implies one school is better than the other. You can't compare them that way. It's like comparing apples and oranges. All three schools are great schools. Virginia is blessed to have these schools where our children can attend. I [/quote]
