[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That ROI chart is bumming me out. [/quote]

I think it's very misleading--and I haven't been able to find any thorough explanation of how they made data decisions, which is a red flag (If someone has found it--link please!).  For just one small instance, is their estimation of [b]"cost of attendance" based on an assumption of full pay[/b]--which many colleges would not have?  [/quote]

That's actually a good thing for a lot of people here. Most other ROI type websites I've seen assume an average cost which does not apply to most of us here. [/quote]

Well, not at some schools that offer loads of merit aid etc.  And then are they using in-state or out of state?  The red flag is the lack of transparency at how you come up with some dollar amount ROI which is a pretty complex problem.[/quote]

It’s… totally explained if you just have the wit to look it up.[/quote]

Where's the link on the page--I like to see that pretty visible on any data file---otherwise I find it a red flag that they just want you to mainly believe their numbers rather than understand them.  Did I miss the link on the page? Or do you have to go digging.
