[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 1990, here were the rankings for some of the schools mentioned by OP: Vanderbilt - 24 UVA - 21 Michigan - 17 Wisconsin - was not rated in 1990, but was rated 32 in 1996 when USNWR expanded their ratings Notre Dame - 23 Frankly, it doesn’t look like much has changed. All of these schools have been excellent for many years, though I know personally that a number of them have gotten much better over the past 30 years, though hopefully all institutions strive for the same. Some posters have noted that these schools weren’t as rigorous or were much easier to attend in the past, but that is also true of even the best schools. In 1990, Chicago had a 45% admit rate, UPenn 47%, Stanford and Yale 19%, etc. [/quote] The number of hours studied in college overall has been going down and GPAs have been going up rapidly. I don't think rigor is higher.[/quote]
