[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly think the reason they don’t list private schools separately is that they fear most if not all would rapidly become peripheral to the college conversation, much as SLACs are today. [/quote]
What? You mean the publics would right? People dont pay attention to the public list as it is. [/quote]
Take away that ranking and you have the LAC problem: why exactly are you paying 2-3x the price for a name most people have never heard of? [/quote]

Most people the majority of us associate with personally and professionally are immediately familiar most of these schools, from the Wake's and Tulane's of the world through Hopkins and up the ladder.

Does anybody without a college-aged child pay even the slightest attention to rankings?  I went decades (early 90's to mid-2020's) without giving them a second thought.  Once I dove back in it seemed little had changed.  Most of the kids who get into any of these schools are on the right path.
