[quote=Anonymous]They could drop in applications because on the spectrum of all parents/students, there is some percentage that actually care about these rankings even though they do not matter in reality. So those people may apply elsewhere. That being said, Wake especially is still a very good school just like it was yesterday and last year. It is lower for the three things it does or has whether you prefer them or not: 1. Small classes 2. Highly educated professors who actually teach the classes 3. A large portion of the student body is at least middle to upper middle class with a lower percentage of students in the lower deciles financially speaking only So in the rankings, Wake loses in all three. It is like a teacher telling you the best you can perform on a test is a 70. I could quibble with #3 but a lot of the top schools are full of UMC and wealthy types. The first two should not cause a school to drop, that seems an odd way of creating the rankings.[/quote]
