[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are the biggest movers??[/quote]

University of Florida rise over the past several years.[/quote]

Formula shifted to weight student debt and pell % very heavily. Florida and California schools are national leaders in both.[/quote]

Being a leader in Pell really has to do with state demographics.[/quote]

Don’t like this attitude. This site is full of whining about merit scholarships, aid, etc. Delivering a quality education at a good price is admirable and should be recognized.[/quote]

Except that public universities have no control over the number of Pell students. Students apply and get in or not. Then the parents fill out the FAFSA and that determines (by the US Dept of ED) who qualifies for a Pell grant. And Congress gets to tinker with that percentage every year. So the university has no idea how many Pell Grant recipients it will have at the time of acceptance. Universities in states with lower per capita incomes, like California, will always have a great percentage of Pell grant students-similarly Michigan with applicants from Detroit. So it is unfair for USN&WR to use this as an evaluator since universities have no control. Read wiki on Pell Grants. [/quote]
